I dont want DS to lose his confidence by the constant badgering in every direction. For now, I am just going to let him be.. Thanks to you all for helping me get back on track
Is he heading to kindergarten next year? I really dislike your preschool teachers for giving you the impression it’s something he needs to learn. It isn’t age appropriate at all!
When ds2 was in preK last year; they only focused on getting the kids to recognize letters, colors, numbers, how to sound out their names and write. It was more important to them that they’re learning to socialize and classroom norms than advanced learning. Play was hugely emphasized too. Now he’s in kindergarten and working on sounding out their phonics after Thanksgiving break. He’s almost 6 for reference.
