tmq,

I use the screen as my memory. I type as fast as I can then I reread it to fix spellings and transpositions and refresh my mind about my thoughts. My visual (typed out) memory becomes my cognitive memory. I just accept that this is the way my brain works and use it.

It works so I don't fret about my poor immediate memory skills.

If your kids can deal with your struggle to find words, don't worry too much about the adults. You are not going to change the adults but your kids are learning great life skills.

Hope you have a good back to school day.

My best to you.
