Oh I see!! Yes, that’s a great idea. My mind was all over the place and couldn’t think rationally at all. Thanks for this, what a great plan you don’t understand how glad I am to have received this!! Also! Thanks so much for the quick response from the time I posted it. I would’ve lost myself in my own thoughts too.

Hi all, I have a little sister, she's 10. We have a somewhat large age gap. I've noticed since forever now that she is extremely negative. Meaning, her thoughts and thoughts about her self especially are bad. Before you attack me and say my family would be the cause of this I will tell you that it is not, otherwise why would I be making this post? Anyway, she is extremely negative and I'm sensing that although she is quite a bright kid on the outside, she might actually have depression as this is also something that runs in the family. The main purpose of this post is to seek help on her extreme learning difficulties. I'm getting the sense that her teachers don't exactly place a lot of effort into helping her understand concepts at school and I am not blaming them since they do have possibly 25 other kids in the classroom to teach but this is incredibly impacting on her learning. She cannot cope with any sort of homework at home. Online learning has revealed to us that she stresses as much as a student in college would. She has a breakdown every time she does not have an answer - which is all the time. She refuses to 'try' to understand and flatly bursts out that she's 'dumb' and cannot equate to anything more. It's crazy. I can't tell you how much this makes me so upset and makes me also want to cry because it's hard to try to convince her and encourage her to do what she can because she will lift up a pencil and say "that's all I can do" and place it back down. If she is not supervised, she will end up playing on her iPad. She was given a task, a task that usually would be completed in an hour at school- 3 days.. and counting. She has not yet started this task and I've sat with her and given her examples but she's telling me that she's too 'dumb' to understand. One of the main things she does is GET DISTRACTED. Her attention span is crazy short. I'm really trying but I don't have any training in teaching at all, I can't teach. It's hard. I don't know who exactly to bring this up to? A doctor, the school, the teacher.. who?? I don't have much control because I am just a uni student who can barely pay to take care of myself. I really wanted to get her a private tutor who specialises in teaching kids with learning difficulties so she could get a professional to help her with her studies but as I said, I cannot afford it. ANY help is IMMENSELY appreciated so so much.

I appreciate your response very much! Thank you @Tay100 I think this is a good idea, I’ll see if he’ll be up to it. He was admitted to the hospital today due to an asthma attack, when he comes home I’ll have this in mind. Again, thank you so much. ☺️

Thanks so much for your reply @Andrea-RO! 🥰 We don’t share a lot of hobbies but our personality, characteristic-wise, we’re quite similar. He’s changed quite a bit since my post. He’s a lot more irritated and doesn’t bother trying to be happy anymore. I’m a little scared to approach if I’m honest. Nonetheless, I hope it’s temporary and when he’s feeling a little better, I’ll try out your suggestion ☺️

Hey, My dad has always suffered from severe asthma. Recently he's been kind of acting strange, has been really enthusiastic, not that he isn't like that usually but it feels like he's forcing it and then dropping small comments when he's having a coughing fit that he's 'dying real slowly'. I'm very aware of how sick he is at the moment, more than ever before. New medication coming in and new tests but despite all that, he's really trying to stay 'upbeat'? if that makes sense. The issue here is that at some point he becomes really silent and really sad to the point he just "can't sleep". I just want to know if anyone would have any ideas as to what I could do to spend more time with him? I watched a couple of movies with him but I feel like it's not enough. I guess I'm just kind of scared I might regret not spending enough time with him. Open to any suggestions, thanks :)
