Happy AND challenged?
Yeah, would be amazing, wouldn't it?
Great advice from MON and Polarbear. My sister is a Kindy teacher, and she says that parental bias in skill assessment can be a huge problem. So I think the reports of our kids often get thrown out "with the bathwater".
I am struggling with being the dreaded "that parent" for my ds who is in K. Trying to be patient. I know from the outside it probably makes no sense to be in such a "rush" to challenge. For me, I feel like we've been slowing him down since he was tiny to fit into preschool/preK, so more waiting is tough.
