So I just moved about two weeks ago. I got my daughter into school a day later. While it has been a struggle, things are starting to get ironed out. However, her problems at school have been going down the tubes.
Before at her last school, she would, not very often, leave the class room unannounced to the teacher. She wasn't at all a bad student, or have problems with other kids or the teacher; however, she would not pay attention, but that is for a different conversation. Anyways, for the past two weeks her teacher or principal would call me and tell me that she would do some inappropriate stuff at school. The principal called today because she went to the bathroom, stood on the toilet and looked over the stall at the person next to her.
So this is the first time she has done this. While I know moving, changing the environment around her, new schools, new everything will pay a toll on a kid. At first I thought it was that toll playing me. Now, I'm not so sure. I have talked to her, setup "incentives" to do better at school, grounded, worked with her on her homework, time-outs (often). I'm about to step down to my last item on my list of things to teach her, which won't "end" well.
Some schools are more detailed on what is unacceptable.
I am more understanding that kids-will-be-kids, but will not put up with blatant disrespect or disobedience.
Standing in the toilet to look in another stall?! So what! Sometimes kids do something and don't know it's not okay, until you tell them it's not okay. And you probolby wouldnt have thought of something so random. You tell them not to do it again and why and that's that. If they do it again, its disobedience.
My 3-year-old in preschool got put in time out 2xs in one day for burping. It wasn't just a normal day but his show and tell day and the teacher did it for him cause he was in trouble. One thing about this kid, he has burped like a man since he was born. It's so loud!! He doesn't ever do it on purpose or to be rude, it just happens and he says excuse me.
Might be the teacher bring to strict.
We just moved to, will be interesting to see how mine do at a new school. Their last elementary school was amazing! So understanding to how kids behave for their age and comprehension of acting out actually is.
Depends on how old the child is but she needs to learn to channel her anxiety or other stresses about the move into something other than misbehaving in school.
The age matters. But she has to be older than early elementary school grades to be able to see over the bathroom stall while standing on the toilet.
