My DD started reception mid September and started off really well, this week her teacher requested to see me and told me that my DD hadn’t been listening the last few days, that she has to be asked a few times before doing something, cannot sit still during carpet time/worship/assembly and is distracting to others. We didn’t have any of this whilst DD was at nursery, however we do see some of these behaviours at home.
I had a word with DDs teacher at the end of this week after having words with DD, explaining as best I can why this is unfair to others and disrespectful towards her teacher and why it is important to listen but this seems to have had no effect. We want DD to do well and don’t want to be on bad terms with her teacher.
I know this can be quite typical for DDs age group, but teacher has said she is the only one in her group doing this.
Has anyone else experienced this or if anyone could suggest a way forward it would be appreciated!
Further info if it helps: DD is summer born and our first and only child. At home if DD is blatantly ignoring us we use the step or remove things she enjoys to earn back for good listening.
