My child just started kindergarten this year. She was beyond excited to start and I was excited for her. However, we are nearly 4 weeks into the school year and she has gotten in trouble more than 75% of the days. I’ve had telephone meetings with her teacher twice and met in person once. Her teacher states she won’t keep her hands to herself, won’t listen during story time, won’t follow the classroom routine, doesn’t clean up after herself, and seems to mentally check out when she’s being scolded by her teacher. I’m at a loss. I’ve taken away privileges, tried spanking, we talk every day before school about how it’s a new day and a new chance to show that she can be good and listen to her teacher and follow the rules, and she understands what I’m saying because she’ll reiterate it back to me. She knows right from wrong. I was hoping it was just an adjustment period, but it seems that it’s only getting worse. I’m doing my best to raise her differently than I was (mental and physically abused), but I’m completely lost in this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this behavior? Her teacher said that even though it appears that she isn’t paying attention, she’s actually one of her smartest students and performs very well on assignments. She just won’t follow instructions and won’t sit still. Help me help her!! I don’t want her to fall behind or at worse, repeat her kindergarten year. I want to build her up and instill confidence, but also let her know that there are consequences to her actions. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2UuhS8b
