Hi Fchalida. To me it sounds like she is having a problem concertrating I would have her checked out by a doctor to see if anything is wrong with her first. But as soon as I found out nothing was wrong with her I would tell her that she will do as I say and mind me now. It says in the bible that if you love your child you will not spare the rod. Sorry but I had my children minding me by telling them they had 3 times to mess up they usually didn't mess up more then once. You fool me once shame on you, you fool me twice shame on me, try it a third time and one of us is going to have a red bottom. Your the parent not your child if you don't take control while she is still young you won't be able to control her when she gets older. You brought this child into the world it is your responsibility to make this child a good person by correcting your child.

if she is only 5 years old i think you both do not have a problem. what i know is , children as young as 5 years old have very short concentration. you can split up the study time. play for half hour and start again. that is what i do with my children. i no have a 14,13 and 8

yes, i already teach her just 5-10 minutes per day. if i follow her, if she fill boring i will stop teaching. I am not will angry with her every times she is wrong, just tell her with my sound more higher ( sound like "EEEITTT = meaning she is wrong). after study she will playing again. But if i say stop study now you can play, wow she is very happy and i laugh to see her face.

That's typical of kids, and teachers in school are usually really good at handling it. If they think she has a problem they'll let you know to take her to a doctor. They'll probably tell you she's a very typical 5 year old, and will learn at her own pace in her own time, just like all children do.
