Ok, I need some advice... my 4 year old is misbehaving at school. Her teacher says she is hitting, kicking, punching and…

my son was like that and they even reduced his hours at school. but I decided to change him schools, even though it's just preschool. well as it turns out, he's doing a lot better. sometimes it's the teacher not your child. Try staying one day and observe the class.

@busy_prissy, she's an only child right now and I've never seen her pick on another child ever. I expect kids to kick and hit, but she told me other kids hit and kick her so she does it back. Also, telling the teacher "no" and not listening was a typical kid behavior I thought. She makes it sound like my child is the only one who misbehaves...

I know what u mean. that's exactly How I felt. my kid was also kicking and he even hit the teacher. but that teacher had it for my kid. when he hit her, I knew it wasn't him with the problem because he's really caring. they made me feel like I was a bad mom.

maybe not even a change of schools, but maybe a different teacher is necessary.

@busy_prissy, she's in head start, which comes before pre-k, so there are no other teachers unless I just completely take her out of school. @steph__x0x0 at first everything was good. She had her days where she doesn't listen, but what child doesn't? Like I don't know what to change about the way I discipline her to change her attitude.

@steph__x0x0, her teacher told me if she was in pre-k, they would be calling me everyday to come pick her up because they don't put up with bad behavior. She also explained to me she is picking on this one kid who squeals easily and she keeps making this child squeal... I've never heard of a 4 year old "picking" on other kids lol

some teachers just shouldn't be teachers. that's the whole point of head start and preschool, is to prepare them for kinder. that's what my son's new teacher told me. some of them find it easier not to deal with it.
