On another thread someone said that kids are going to nursery never having been taught to sit still and listen. Maybe I am none to bright but I am not sure how you could teach this. My dc eat at the table every night, we out a regular amount and they are well behaved when we do this, I read to them daily and they sit and listen, if we are doing a craft or activity they are involved and engaged.
My dd has just started nursery and already they have said she doesn't like sitting down for circle time and story, I am not sure how I could have taught this and whether it is a natural thing anyway. Does ANYONE like sitting and being herded around in a group of 25 or more? It bothers me that this is being used as benchmark for good parenting really. Any thoughts?
