My son has had a rough few days at nature school this week with impulse control and focus. He has been separated from the group a few times to try and calm his wiggles and lost privileges because of his behavior. Sometimes he just can’t sit, stay, listen, or complete a task. His brain just seems to override occasionally and I totally get it.
My daughter does not like her teacher and doesn't want to go to school. How do I get her through this?
My daughter is having issues with her teacher. She has the same teacher that her sister had last year, and to be honest I am not a big fan, but it's gotten to the point that she keeps saying she doesn't want to go to school, she wants to switch schools, she hates her teacher etc.....I listen to her and reflect her feelings of frustration but is there anything else I can do? She is also used to being liked and loved (teachers always love her because she is the perfect angel in class) and I think she is struggling because this teacher doesn't seem to feel that way. Thoughts?
How to approach a teacher that's not very flexible and may be unhealthy for my child?
We wanted some guidance about school and the best way to handle this. One of my daughter’s teachers is super organized, communicates in advance about deadlines or events; prefers kids to finish their work/projects in school and sends very little homework (hw is actually whatever the student could not finish in class), which is greatly appreciated.
On the other hand, from the interactions I had with her, reports from my daughter and from other moms (who hear from their kids) this teacher seems to have a very traditional approach with the kids. She doesn’t allow her students to “talk back”, meaning, when they try to explain or clarify a situation, i.e, tell their side of the story, teacher replies with, “no buts or you’ll get a conduct cut for talking back” or shames them in front of the class.
