Awhile back, I posted about a dcg that I have who takes a million years to do anything. Getting dressed, eating, completing projects, etc.
Well, it hasn't improved. It seems.to have gotten worse, even. And she has now started giving dirty looks and little comments ("o-kaaaaaay!" etc) when asked to hurry, while moving even slower. She spent a lot of time out during the month of December.
It's gotten to the point where she rarely finishes her "work", her meals, misses lots of outside/playtime by refusing to ask for help if she needs it. The other teachers and I have had numerous talks with her about asking for help with words, and have mutually agreed not to rush over and help her if she does not use words. Still she just stands staring at us with her coat, shoes or whatever every time. If she has to potty, she stares at me and squirms until I notice. This child is almost 5 years old.
I work in a certified preschool, so I have little control over the schedule. So I really cannot allow.her to leisurely take an hour to eat or do an art project, nor will I baby her and not require her to use words when I know she's very capable
We plan to speak to her parents before kindy registration in April. One of her parents is a teacher. I have tried to broach this subject with them before but was totally blown off. They believe she's gifted.
If anyone has any ideas if what/how to form a bridge with her parents about this, I'd appreciate it.
