Plus he tells me EVERYTHING that happens at school. Every social issue, conflict, and bump in the road. Other parents regularly came to me to ask about what happened at pre-K. LOL! So if there were a problem, I'm reasonably confident that I'd know. (At least for now. I do realize that will probably change as he gets older.)

Good question though. It's definitely an issue to watch for. Social stuff was a problem for DS8 when he was in 1st grade. He did fine in pre-K and K, but he stopped fitting in in 1st. frown

But DS5 is either sick, growing, overtired, or underchallenged, I think. Or some combination. *sigh*
You're so lucky that he tells you about school smile
