I think it's great that you're willing to help your hard-working sister, but you have to act like a teacher. And a good teacher waits for someone to figure out the answer and if they can't, they explain it more.

It's not like she's taking a while to answer because it gets on your nerves. She's thinking and trying really hard to understand. It's like being in class and when the teacher asks you a question and you are trying to think about it, they don't start yelling at you. They wait until you take a guess or admit that you are clueless.

When your sister starts to get upset that you explained it wrong, tell her it was your mistake and that you'll try explaining better. If she still gets agravated about it, just suggest that you both cool off and wait a little later to finish.

While she's trying to figure out the answer to a certain question, just think about how you are going to explain it better if it turns out that she doesn't know, but don't get mad because she can't understand it.

thanks...i`ll try your tips =)

My name is Erin and I am now 18 years old. You may realize through out looking at my column, some of you love me and some of you flat out hate me. There's really no gray area with me I guess you can say.

I haven't given advice here in so long and it's only because I got caught up in life. But I'm more mature than I ever thought I could be.
So anyway I'm here again. It's been a long time, but I still love giving advice and still plan on it in the future.

Everyone should feel free to Private Message me for advice, I can be harsh, but I'm always trying to help someone by giving them the truth they need.
