Behavior at Preschool?
A has always been a pretty good kid and now she is a typical three year old testing boundaries and such. I went to the teacher conference and was told that she was fine but then a week or so later I was told she is not listening across the board and it has been going on for 2 weeks.
I have tried talking to her and the teacher and any similar behavior at home gets corrected asap with time out. I am kind of pulling my hair out over this. I went from having a kid that was eager to go to school to one that keeps saying she does not want to go. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Re: Behavior at Preschool?
We recently went through something similar with DD. Her teachers always raved about what a good student she was and how helpful and well-behaved she was. Then for a period of 2 weeks she began acting out. Hers was mostly at circle time and when they were doing worksheets.
Turns out, she was bored. She started in the 3 year old room before she was 3, and she knew the material inside and out. The worksheets took her 3 minutes to complete then she had idle time on her hands. They moved her up to the 4 year old room and she's back to her usual self.
Could your DD be bored?
We had the same thing happen when Gavin went back to daycare (after me being laid off) at 3.5, so we moved him to the 4-yr old room. Then, around the time he turned 4, he was having problems again.
I agree with Amy that some of it could be boredom. While I fully believe a child needs to learn that, no matter how bored they are, they need to behave, it's not always as easy as that. Their maturity level needs to catch up! Maybe you can find out from the teacher when exactly is she acting up (is it during reading time, etc.) and find out if maybe it's another child she doesn't get along with (solution: keep them away from each other!). Find the common denominator.
And, if it is boredom, see if there is more your teacher can do or give A to do to keep her involved.
Good luck!
My three sons!
