She'll be more likely to want to work at the reading, I think, if she feels like a competent, smart person who has a chance of succeeding -- and she'll feel competent and smart if she knows things and knows in what areas she excels. :)GJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333356530730791540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894900671202619851.post-73094725132840536752009-08-07T13:42:06.020-05:002009-08-07T13:42:06.020-05:00Mmmm.

Jen will spend as much time as we will allow on the computer or reading magazines (looking at pictures) but it's like pulling teeth to sit down and read with her.
