Gee that's all I've been doing...praising, praising....

I would be happy to hand her off to a woman teacher, but
there are none associated with this program yet.

Stop looking for miracles and start praising the little bitty
achievements.
You guys have got her so afraid she's going to do something wrong that
she's
agonizing over making everything right. She might have some
obsessive/compulsive tendencies, which would slow the learning process way
down. Have you asked her directly why she is having problems? You are
dealing with an adult here and not a kid...I'm sure she is picking up the
bad vibes from all you guys...after a while, in the spirit of trying to be
nice and patient, you're probably coming off as being patronizing. My
first
suggestion would be is that she needs to be taught by a woman sailor. You
guys might reflect exactly why she has chosen an activity away from her
husband.
