[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 360641, member: 4040"] I'm a substitute teacher, and I have noticed the girls are getting meaner at a younger age these days. I was used to the girl drama starting in fourth grade, and now I'm seeing it start to rear its ugly head in second grade. And the tattling...OMG. I can't count the number of times lately I've designated a "no whining zone" because I just can't stand to hear it anymore. I had someone today complain because "she's LOOKING at me, Mrs. G!" You say that she "zips it" when you tell her to. Does she also at school, or does she nag her teacher? Does she cry for effect at school when things don't go her way? While kindergarten is not my favorite grade, I've spent a lot of time in there. When they don't want to work, the average 5 year old will decide they don't feel good, have to go potty, break the pencil, get their feelings hurt by someone and cry, and spend the entire work period going over to the teacher and tattling about something. When they do want to work, they will sit still, focus, be engaged in the lesson, cooperate with classmates, and share their successes with great excitement. The being first in line thing, while it happens, does not happen with everyone. If you are concerned about her behaviors, that's an excellent reason to have her checked out. [/QUOTE]
