If you cant verbally express it to her, write her a note and slip it into her mailbox in the teachers loun... |

I have this problem to a degree myself. Although I am a mother of 2 children.

It looks like I simply record mys state. |

It is true for me. I can hardly do it now, but only with the highest concentration possible.
