So this is for the mommies out there who have children who go to school. My daughter isnt a big fan of the word NO. Like most kids her age of course... She throws the tantrumsat home, begs over and over when u tell her she cant do something. Soon to be 5 years old, my daughter recently started attending school. Pre K. She only been there 2 weeks and im now starting to get the complaints from her teacher. And accorsing to the teacher, my kid has been acting out since day 1. The first talk was 3 days ago and its been everyday since then. And everyday it seems to be getting worse. No fighting or hitting. But im hearing that my daughter just wants to run around and do what ever she wants. She just doesnt want to listen to any of the adult figures at school. She got some little boy in trouble cuz she was encouraging him and other students to run around the lunch area and climb underneath the lunch tables. They ask her to stop ✋ and sit down with the rest of her classmates and she refuses. This behavior isnt news. I know my kid isnt the greatest most well behaved kid on the planet. But its still a little embarrassing to be constantly getting these bad reviews on her everytime i pick her up. ive talked to her numerous times in many different ways. At this point i just dont know what to say or do. Im very much against evaluating my kid to see if "she needs to be medicated". Medication is not an option im comfortable with. If anyone has been thru anything similar I'd love to hear how u got thru it. Anything for some hope. Not knowing how to help my kid isnt a great feeling.
@eryka616 ill definitely try the diet thing. One thing i did mention to her teacher is that we struggle here at home with my child the same ways the teacher does at school. A lot of it has to do with me living with grandparents. They sneak my kid junk just to satisfy her and its always caused problems with me and my family. When she does something wrong and i try to explain to my kid what she did and why its not ok... Her grandparents run to the rescue and make it seem like her bad behavior is ok.
Thats what i was telling her dad. That i feel like till we can control the issue at home is when she should be ready to listen at school. Last thing i wanna do is pull her out of school but i also dont want to have to burden the teacher and complicate her day due to my wild child.
I definitely don’t believe children should be medicated but if she does have something like adhd or even if she’s just a really hyper kid part of it could be her diet. Do you eat a lot of sugary foods or junk food or a lot of bread and pasta? Try cutting down on those things. I know it’s hard but even just a little could help. I think way too many kids are diagnosed with things they don’t have just because they “act out”. Your daughter is just more spirited lol.
@vsainz21, I know how that is I used to live with family. I’d honestly just tell them to respect how you parent your children or they’ll have very limited contact with your daughters.
