DS started reception this term, and so far settling in well and seems happy enough. Or so I thought - yesterday teacher spoke to me at the end of the day and said that they had a problem with his attitude. She said he always has to have the last word and always responds to a request with a 'but...', 'just....' or 'first...'. Another teacher said to me last week that 'he has an answer for everything doesn't he'.
This is a problem we have with him at home and I can see that it will be disruptive and annoying in a class of 30. She said that he is a bright little boy, maybe to console me because I must have looked crestfallen, but even though I know he is as capable as any other child I fear that if he continues to be difficult to teach nobody will notice if he is bright or not. I fear that he is already labelled as 'trouble' so early and want to nip it in the bud.
Ideas for getting a very confident (too confident?) articulate defiant 4 year old boy to listen more and speak less?
