[Pibe-division] Student that tears everything

[adrijana prokopenko]

She is probably resisting it because she can't understand what she is
doing and the purpose of it. I think it would help if you design some
learning games for her, so she can get to enjoy them before she gets
into the braille alphabet. Even sighted children at that age don't get
engaged in alphabet learning most of the time, so maybe she needs a
different kind of stimulous. As for taring things apart, just get her
something that she can't tare apart and play with it.
