actually i had her go thru a test under the brain RX program whc states she has poor working memory. she scored only 27%. but the prog too ex. a few k.


anyway real life egs of her poor memory include (she 's p4):
eg 483 — she will do 83 but after that do 4+3 instead of 4*3. she forgot she is doing multiplication, not addition

forgot to close cupboard door after opening it
forgot to take out key from the keyhole
forgot to put clothes in the laundry basket after changing
forgot to bring home homework
but more so its her carelessness in maths.
in sch she can copy things wrongly n nver realise it , or didnt finish copying

Is she easily distracted?

This can also be a case of easily distracted or not focus in task, not necessary poor memory.

Inherited or not, we want the best for he kids. Learning the techniques to manage it is as important as "fixing" it. We don’t want their self esteem to take a hit
