[quote=Anonymous]My 4 year old son’s preschool teacher has brought up frustrations with him not consistently listening to instructions, not paying attention during story time and distracting other kids (I have the same issue, he rarely likes to sit in bed while I’m reading), and today he hit her on her butt. Some days he does great but other days he does not, per the teacher.

He relates well to adults and kids and is fairly social, sleeps well at night, gets a good amount of exercise during the day etc but these issues are still arising. I had a long talk with him after school about how important it is for him to listen to his teachers and follow instructions and he apologized and said he wanted another try to do better. When I asked him why he hit his teacher on the butt he said he was trying to sneak up and surprise her and that he was pretending to be invisible. We talked about not touching other people without permission and especially not touching anyone’s private parts. This is not something I’ve had issues with at home so I am surprised.

Not sure how to handle this aside from having continued conversations about behavior at school. I don’t want my kid to be “that kid” but I’m not sure how to handle this. What do you think I should do at home to stop this kind of behavior at school??[/quote]
