[QUOTE="nvts, post: 411712, member: 3814"] I see where you're coming from Malika and there are some really valid points to what you're saying. The only thing I would check into: are there other kids in the class doing these things. Sometimes a zebra is a zebra. Occasionally, especially at 4 years old, if they showed no issues in the past, it could also be learned behavior - someone else in the class may not be blessed to have a Mom like you and Malika who are comfortable asking tough questions OR may still be being told that their child is "just acting like a kid". If she's seeing behavior like this get a kid in the class what that kid wants, and she is so intelligent - let's face it, there are a lot of gifted kids at the age of 4 - she may be just testing boundaries that are in place. I think I'd have a really good conversation with her teacher to see when these things started, if there are any "things" that seem to launch the behavior and then come up with common language/strategies that you both will use to redirect her or to get her to comply. If there are issues, you'll be may be able to try to pinpoint the stimulus behind the behaviors. So welcome to the crowd! We're a good group offering suggestions and shoulders! Beth [/QUOTE]
