I haven't had a chance to observe my daughter in the classroom yet, but from stories I hear and how she acts at drop off it's a total 180 between school and home! I think she seems to be confident that she can do things herself, but I gather that she needs a lot of direction. Probably no more than other 3 year olds, but it's shocking that my loud-mouth, know-it-all would need direction! She GIVES direction at home! It's hard to watch your child struggle with the adjustment even when you know it's good for them.<br /><br />As for the behavior at home, if it's shocking to you how different she is at school imagine how frustrating it must be for her! I'm sure some of that frustration is coming out in different ways towards YOU, since you are a safe haven for bad feelings. It might help to role-play some school situations in a play setting so she can feel more confident in what is going on? I'm not sure, I keep meaning to write a blog post about this because we struggle with the same issues!Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552414046577669613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207116079668377453.post-53861024905876719842010-11-19T15:38:04.570-08:002010-11-19T15:38:04.570-08:00Interesting how kids act differently in different ...Interesting how kids act differently in different environments. I noticed our JC acts differently depending on who is around. With some teachers/parents, she's great but others, her behavior is questionable. As for the whining, I used to tell her that I couldn't understand what she was saying and asked her to say it so I could listen to her. That seemed to work. Good luck. It can be frustrating at times.Joyful Learnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428785096597190176noreply@blogger.com
