DD, just turned 5 has started Reception this week. She hasn't said much, except that she doesn't like it and wants to stay at home but her teacher says she is fine, no problems etc.
However this weekend there has been a lot of putting, dollys, teddies and, well, everyone really onto "The Time Out Chair". So I gently asked her about the Time Out Chair, she has not been on it but named a few other of the tinies in her class who have been (they are mostly aged 4, dd is a September baby and turned 5 this week). When she said who had been, she went really quiet and looked so down and sad.
It just makes me really, this obvious fear of "The Time Out Chair". I suppose I have just always dealt with bad behaviour as and when and we all knew where we stood. It seems like the modern day equivalent of The Dunces Cap to me.
I suppose I just need to man up and accept that my PSB (precious second born) is now "out there" and this is the norm.
Just wanted to mull it over really.

Am I being precious about this?
