    >> I would discuss this with the parent as my feeling is is that these
    children are often "tutored" by the parent and they have been robbed of
    their natural independent nature for learning. Most of these children
    have been only children, first born children or from some cultures
    where academics are really pushed. The child either doesn't want to
    work because he/she is being pushed at home or has always been given
    tons of one on one attention with the parent at home. Working with the
    parent might help. Some children never seem to get over that dependency
    but by the time they reach 5 I can usually get them to work with a peer
    when working alone still isn't coming to fruitation. I sure can see the
    value of a parent/infant class as we can educate parents from the
    beginning to assist them in encouraging independent learning. maureen
