Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 5 yr olds at school

I think its time to talk to your son about school in general, try not to put words into his head but ask him open questions. E g What do you like best about school? Who are your friends? Is there anything that makes you sad when you are at school? etc. Hopefully if he has an issue about the teacher then he will openly discuss it with you. Then you at least know where he is coming from. If he likes his teacher then this is great, it shows she is treating him with respect and care, and perhaps the odd telling off will not actually do him any harm, just so long as it is balanced with plenty of praise when he is behaving well. Take care

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 5 yr olds at school

i tried this with my son. I asked him what would you change about school. His answer was "the uniform!!!"

he will be observed by a behavioural expert soon, so we'll see what happens. He is fine at home.

his twin is also geting a bit upset at the moment too with school. maybe it;s a 5 year old thing.
