[QUOTE="Katie Needs Help, post: 388816"] He is developmentally on track if not ahead. His speech is good and he can clearly communicate and carry on a conversation. Academically he is very smart. He knows his alphabet, numbers, and some phonics. He LOVES music and has a great memory. The only area he is having issues is with behavior. It is like he will decide to defy that teacher and he won't back down once he has made that decision. When he is in the mood to listen and obey her, he is very very sweet. We live in a very small town and there are not really any other options in terms of moving him. He has always been a strong-willed child, but what is happening with this teacher has been out of character even for him. The incidents are usually at the same time of day. If he makes it past 9 a.m. then he is usually pretty good for the entire day. This teacher is far more structured then previous day care teachers. I know he doesn't like the structure, but that is something he will have to learn to deal with. When he comes home, he behaves perfectly fine (for the most part. He is 4). I am struggling with what I can do as the parent to get him to understand how important it is for him to behave at school. Last week, he was almost suspended because the teacher couldn't take it anymore. [/QUOTE]
