Slightly frustrated with myself. Tried to tutor Micky. Of course completely unprepared and unorganized. Thought I was. Had a plan of attack. Did research. Trying to tutor an ADD kid without any concept of self discipline is like trying to eat spaghetti with a spoon. She gets frustrated. I get frustrated. She jumps from subject to subject. I get tired and let her. I know the main problem is her fear of getting it wrong. How do you make someone understand it's ok to get it wrong here. That's what homework and studying is for. This is not a good start. What she needs is a real tutor. She doesn't think she has to try for me. How do I figure out what to do?
