Kids usually still like school and have fun at kinder. I would wonder what's going on that he isn't. If it's the teacher maybe you can get his teacher changed...I don't know. We're trying to figure out why our 5 year old isn't as excited for school as he was the last two years and maybe it's because kinder is more structured than preschool was or maybe it's because he's not a morning person and he's really not getting enough sleep... it's a struggle to get him to sleep. He's got a severe speech delay so it's hard to ask him why he's not happy. 😪

@Heather he gets his rest he’s not like that here at home and the teacher thinks it’s something at home but it’s literally an all week thing .. and ik last year he had the best year loved his teacher and all his classmates never had a problem he’s been in school since head start never had any problems til now he just tells me he does not know sometimes he said it’s hard and his teacher don’t help him when he doesn’t understand

Behavior issues at home or at school? If at home, I'd say absolutely normal. They work super hard to hold it together all day at school and fall apart. Also other things can impact him, like going from no chance of nap/quiet time, dealing with learning new things and not feeling as smart as he is used to, or if he was never in a structured program that is a big change. I'd definitely not make any changes, that just makes it hard for him to adjust again!

@Susan it’s at school , & yes it’s been everyday since school started the teachers been calling me she saying she thinks something may be going on here at home but he’s not acting out at home so I’m not sure why she thinks that . I’ve talked to him he did tell me some stuff is hard and he has no help at school work wise

@Christina I’m think maybe that’s what it is because he’s never been like what his teacher is telling me .. pushing and pinching and name calling or destructive so it’s unusual to me

Did he come from a structured pre-k program?

@Susan no it’s the same public school he went to last year just a new teacher on a different part of the school

It may be an issue of Kinder being more structured than pre-k and unless they have assistant teachers then he probably is getting a lot less help and attention from his teacher than he's used to so maybe he's struggling to adjust to it. My little guy isn't in main stream because of his developmental delay and his class is mixed... he's the only kinder in his class which I absolutely hate for him. I hope he has some little first grade friends in class. It breaks my heart to think he might not be enjoying school already.

CHANGE SCHOOLS AND IT MIGHT BE SOMEONE BOTHERING HIM

@Mimie yes he got in trouble today again 🤦🏽‍♀️ and I feel like his teacher wants there to be a issue at home because she reports him to the office about his behavior even after I talk to her .. she says it’s something to work through but this is constant idk how much more I can take because I know him he ain’t a bully he barley talks so it’s just weird for everything she saying to be true not saying it’s not but still there was a point she said he slapped her with some paper and my son know not to play with adults 💯🥴 so idk how that happened but dang

TEACHERS CAN BE BULLIES & IT SEEMS LIKE THE TEACHER IS THE ISSUE.....

Sounds like the teacher may be the problem and maybe even some kids could be picking on him and he gets blamed for it specially if he doesn't talk much. This is what I'm worried about for my daughter. I'm not saying this is for everyone, but we're going to do homeschool for her until she gets older, 10 and let her decide if she wants to keep doing homeschooling or go to school. I keep seeing some scary stories about what the teachers do to the little kids and I was also treated pretty badly at school myself. Was picked on daily and none of the teachers stopped it so I was a problem child to them and was marked as the bad kid. I'm really sorry you're little one is going through this. It must be really hard for you and I'm sure you're super stressed out. I would change his teacher and the see if he keeps acting like that at school.
