Ds is 4.5 and my only child, so I am new to dealing with schools and teachers and the like...
Anyway ds is a cute loveable child who likes to entertain and make his friends laugh. I think he is doing this by being cheeky/naughty at school. His teacher has already spoken to me on one occassion about how he sometimes goes too far and does not know where to draw the line. They have a thinking chai at school and I know he sits on it most days.
Today I picked him up as normal, I was half way accross the playground with ds when his teacher came running after me saying 'I need a word about ds's behaviour today'. I asked if she wanted me to go inside school. She said no, here is fine. So she proceeded to tell me about how naughty he has been today in the middle of the playground.
It turns out he has not listened all day, refused to tidy up, and has been pushing other children. I was quite taken aback as she caught me unawares. I just said I would talk to ds about it at home. Which I have.
His teacher seemed very angry and adjitated and made it clear to me and ds she is not at all happy.
Of course I love ds, I also see his kind, loviing side and I am worried she is not seeing this ans he is being labelled as the naughty child.
Has anyone else got any experience of this? Will he settle down or is it down hill from here. Also should she have spoken to me in the playground, is this the norm?
Are they taking it too seriously, after all he is only 4?
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.
