7 going on 27?

Tweet

My seven year old daughter is my oldest out of three children. She for the most part takes care of her room, picks up after herself and does what a seven year should do. She does extremely will in school and her extra activities. When speaking with her you would think you were talking with someone in their twenties! Last year she followed the entire Presidential election. She is in 2nd grade but the teachers started giving her 3rd grade work. One day I was looking through her graded school work and what I saw amazed me. There was a note attached to the stack of papers from her teachers. The note read: Dear XXXX, Thank you for taking the time reviewing your incorrect answers. The 2nd grade teachers are bery proud of you. It is not necessary to return your papers to us with comments as to why and how you concluded your answers. If you would like to discuss them please come see one of the teachers. I looked at her comments and this what one read: Thank you for letting me know. This is how I understood the book and believe my answer is correct. Again we are all very proud of her but here is my situation: She never thinks she is wrong. Debates everything. This starts at 6:00 in the morning until bedtime. This child literally exhausts us mentally. Does anyone have any suggestions for my husband and I on trying to make her understand that it's okay to be wrong sometimes?
