hi, not sure if this is the right topic to post in, but hopefully. DD is in reception - always been clumsy, constantly falling over - so far at just 5 has already knocked her front teeth out and broken her elbow. I have done a bit of online research - I don't think it's anything other than the fact she is tall and not very co-ordinated, plus always likes to be involved with games/chases etc. There is barely a week goes by when she doesn't come back with some minor grazes on her knees.
Yesterday, first day back, she fell over in the playground (again) - school kindly cleaned her up and put plasters on, but when she came back she said that her reception teacher had told her that she would be annoyed with her if she fell over again. This has got my back up, but I am prepared to be told I'm being pfb if I am.
She is a very compliant, bright, girl and obviously doesn't fall over on purpose. From the little i see in the playground she is no more careless etc than anyone else - in fact probably less. It's actually making her quite risk-averse.
Would you be a bit annoyed that the teacher has told her this, or do you think it's ok? TIA
