My baby started kindergarten a month back and we had a meeting with the teacher today and said that . she is very slow and stubborn. refuses to do the work. even in the house she is like that for 1 page work she sits and takes sometimes 1 - 1 1/2 hour. today when we were looking in the class quietly we saw that all children were writing and she was the only one not writing and literally the teacher had made her sit beside her table and was coaching her. she is actually the youngest in the class so i dont really know what to do. her teacher had given a monthly report where she was given marks poetry, reading, conversation and copywriting. in all she got 0 except poetry which she reads. the teacher said that she herself is shocked since my baby knew everything. basically it was matching pictures but she did not do it. she is very moody and stubborn. how do i make her understand that thats not good. I am at my wits end. any ideas Ilites. Ps. she has never went to nursery. is that the reason she is lagging behind. also i m working so she maybe feels left out. i m not sure y she is behaving like this.
Dear Fragrance, I don't think you should see this as a major problem to scare you..Your child has just started going to school...it s a different feeling.. Try to give her an incentive..if she finishes your homework you will make her favourite dinner..if she gets full marks,she will get a surprise gift..(I would suggest that you do not scold or hit her..that will only make matters worse..) Sometimes the teacher is very strict and the chemistry between the child and the teacher is not good. You will have to keep an eye on this very closely. I had a similar problem when son was young,,he would not do his HW, will not eat...just becos he did not like the teacher and wanted to just irritate her.. We tried to help him by cajoling him, but also firm when he did not finish his work. Don't worry, all will be fine soon. Regards USHA
Thanks for the reply. at this point i am all worried and it seems such a big problem but you r right. when i will look back after its over i will feel, y did i fret so much. but right now i m really feel frustrated nd sometimes get so angry after a hard days work that i hit her. i feel bad right away. i need to work on my patience and anger.
Hi, don't worry about this and get tensed.afterall she is small kid and only this time they get to play and enjoy .my daughter also was like this in the initial days .but the teacher was so nice she took good care of her and within one week she started loving the school and the teacher very much.she went to new dubai nursery in dubai.so it will be better if u ask the tacher to give special attension to her atleast for a few days.but the most important thing u should be sooo patient with her nd make her understand things . reenu
