[quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here, I agree 1000% with the OP. Let your kids try and let them fail. Then have them try again. Repeat. They are capable. Do not take that pride and independence from them. I work at a Coop and hear this comment almost daily from parent volunteers: “I just don’t know how you can get Larlo to clean up here, or put his own coat, or wash his hands....(plus many more examples) he never does that at home” Parents look at me in awe like I am a magician instead of looking at their children in awe and realizing how much they can do. Preschool teachers are not magical creatures. We just have high expectations and know that preschoolers are capable of lots of things. Give your children the opportunity to impress you. They will!
