poor l'il bugger... doomed to a micro managed childhood.
just follow the model your parents used when they had the same concerns... what? they didn't think about these vital issues back then?
lest you think I'm being unwise and just a wise guy allow me to qualify my cynicism. I am the father of a 12 yr old girl with a PDD diagnosis. (mentally retarded). She's the light of my life and a genuinely happy kid.
Lower the bar, she'll be alright.

Play is the international language for children. If you want them to learn you will have to come up with a way for them to play what you want them to learn. At least that is what I learned from my time volunteering at the preschool and in my Child Development and Observations class, from when I used to be an Inclusive Elementary Ed major, but switched to human services specializing in family systems: social work.
Games that involve directions like Simon Says are fun and engaging for her age level. Projects that are not overwhelming but require directions like crafts. When at home ask questions like "what do you think we should do next" Make chores a game and ask that question. Of course, help out to keep her engaged, but don't do everything for her. Don't expect too much in the beginning. Maybe your daughter is having too much solitary play at home and has become too independant. Keep her engaged by doing group activities.

at the same time as i replaced into little we had the soundtrack to "Jesus Christ action picture star" (the version with the brown hide, featuring Ian Gillan of Deep red) and Tim Rice's nicely-articulated libretto brought about this youthful listener to study a number of new (to his ears)words and, particularly, idioms. The lines of many different musicals and pre-rock music 'criteria' wafted by the homestead specifically circumstances. To at present I actually have a lot appreciation for a nicely-crafted lyric or wise verse. a pair of words that come to options are: omniscient picaresque

Please tell me you got that question from a committee on education as it pertains to the downfall of our child's kid life. She will learn in spite of your constant meddling. Positive reinforcement for every good thing she says and does goes a long way. Psych minor. I didn't push my kids and my oldest was a math major a female math major. My second same thing. I have no idea where they got the math ability from, as I am English/debate/writing/arguing/speeches etc. My father was the mathematician. I asked him once to help with my fractions, we ended up in trig. I never asked for his help again. Take a breath.

If she is not in preschool put her in it! She will grow out of not following directions. Giver her time she is still young.
