Q:
Why does it seem as though my 9 year old child has forgotten previously learned knowledge?
Since the beginning of 3rd grade, it seems as though my 9 year old has begun to lose the knowledge she previously attained. Even simple math (9-5=? or 3+5=?) seems to be challenging for her...she is still counting on her fingers for very simple problems (I never say anything about this because I don't want her to feel bad about it - and I help her with math flash cards), her reading skills have slowly gone downhill also. My 6 year old will sit next to her and is able to answer some of the math questions before the 9 year old. I'm at a loss as to what I should / shouldn't do...
