When they won’t cooperate..
Our 5 y/o was to be a lion in a play today by wearing a costume and behaving like a lion. When we arrived, he refused to get dressed, and said he thought it was “dumb”. We discussed his inappropriate behavior and choice of words. He apologized, but he just didn’t want to have strangers looking at him doing something that he really didn’t even want to be doing. So, we sat there watching the other kids act out the play. I decided this was an issue that I just wasn’t going to make an issue. I hope the decision was a wise one. The future will tell..
Would your student benefit from the “gap year”?
