Recently Lexi got her results from her testing for a learning disability (which was brought about because of her lagging mathematical comprehension) which as I thought resulted in her having a mild case of ADHD and a very short term memory problem along with some emotional distress. In an effort to boost our relationship with her Mother and encourage healthy living we decided to meet with her mom to discuss her keeping up with her schedule she holds at our home. Much to my surprise she was very willing to cooperate and was keen on doing whatever it took to salvage Lexi's childhood. I am happy to report that we are continuing to support each other and Lexi and adding a few routines to our ever so hectic days. I have compiled a list of new things that we are practicing in order to help Lexi cope with her disability.
Waking up 30 min earlier every morning to cook breakfast instead of grabbing something as we rush out the door.
Doing study as a team instead of just one parent helping at a time
Eating dinner together at the table as a family and discussing our days (This is how i grew up but not my husband... i finally got him on the bandwagon)
And spending a little extra time doing something fun every night before bed to encourage family bonds
I am really excited about these new additions to our daily routine and I will let you know her progress ....
