Heaven help me...

Me to Kelsie: "Come and sit down, its homework time. (Kel just stands there then starts to sit on the couch) No, come here. (She comes but sits at the computer desk) Your homework is at this table, not that one. (Finally she is at her chair and sitting).

Kelsie: "Will you help me?"

Me: "Sure, lets see what you have."

I'm reading the directions and Kelsie makes her way back to the living room.

Me: "Kels, come here. I know what you need to do. (No response) KELSIE, come here now please!. Thank You. On this spot you need to write the problem and under it you need to write the answer. Then circle the double facts."

Kel: "What?"

Me: "(repeat directions)"

Kel: "uuuhhh"

Me: "(repeat directions again) So for this one you would write 3+1 then write the answer under it. Kelsie, write 3+1 right here. (she starts to write in a random box) No, in this box. (has the pencil pointed at the right box, but nothings happening) 3 then + then 1. Right HERE Kelsie. (whew, success!) Great now write the answer."

Kel: "To what?"

Me: "3+1 Kelsie, whats the answer to 3+1?"

Kel: "5?"

Me: "What? No, 3+1! Whats the answer?"

Kel: "Ooohhhh, I thought you said 3+2 haha"

This is when I take a deep breath and try my hardest not to do the work myself ;)
