On top of the unreal expectations. At times they have to let a kid be a kid and pick their battles... Making them the battles worthy of being picked. <br /><br />Ugh, I feel for you.Emmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761362136697332510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511988469719165869.post-61046650597769487332011-09-06T11:17:54.235-04:002011-09-06T11:17:54.235-04:00I am sooo sorry.

It's always hard to balance that line between being an advocate for your kids and accepting when they are in the wrong and need to improve their behavior. One of our more horrifying weeks of school was when Aidan was in first grade...we got a phone call from his teacher that 1) he went to the bathroom in the bushes on the playground (he didn't want to lose recess time by going inside) and 2) he kept licking other kids during circle time pretending he was a reptile.

I can not imagine being an adult an being expected to walk in single file and be quiet. It almost goes against everything we teach our kuds at home.. You shouls also be able to expect a phone call ir face to face conversation with the teacher.. An email is hardly a way to effective way <br />communicate. He is just a little guy.. You are a GREAT mom ..I will be thinking of you.. and the " kid."Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06977972130329301799noreply@blogger.com
