If you think his actual behavior is different this year (as opposed to the expectations higher and he hasn't risen to them), I would suggest instead that you say, "we don't really have any issues with attention at home and in looking at typical lists of what techniques are used to address issues, it looks like we don't really use much that I see there. I'm wondering if instead you could talk to Mrs 1st grade teacher to brainstorm strategies? This is the first year we're hearing comments about attention. I'm wondering what Mrs 1st grade teacher might have employed?"
Good suggestion... Thank you!
