[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you. Yes, she wears sneakers all the time even in dress/skirts with shorts. That should not prevent her full participation in any active activity. She is in dress and skirt phases. One more question, can she wear 1 or 2 pieces, like necklace, nail stickers, crazy toy plastic glasses, and those colorful hair accessories including fairy hair/big bow etc?  She has a huge toy jewllery box with many hair accessories and necklaces/bracelets/rings etc. I tell her that sje cannot bring toy to school. The girls at her current daycare loves to dress up every day with all these and brings toy. [/quote]

Things like glasses or large jewelry that she may be tempted to fiddle with  or take on and off, will be deemed a distraction in class, and she’ll be asked to put them away.

I’d try to pare it down to one accessory at a time, and stick to only things that will stay on without adjustments or removal during the day. Teachers won’t want to help replace a bow that falls out of her hair at PE, or track down a bracelet lost at recess. And definitely no toys.

Just have her choose one accessory each day, and remind her it should stay in/on all day. If it gets in her way or comes off, or falls out of her hair, she should ask her teacher for permission to put it in her backpack—don’t ask the teacher to help put it back on. If it comes home in her bag, that item should be removed from her daily options in the future.

It’s not about squashing her style and creativity, but about eliminating distractions and not pulling the teacher away from teaching. My DD always liked to have bright funky (temporary) hair colors, and nobody ever complained. In fact, she got lots of compliments! [/quote]

Op here. Thank you for tips. At current daycare, her teachers sometimes help some kids to do braids & find their lost items. They are mostly found because there are only certain places they hang out at daycare. That group of girls like to pay attention what other girls dress, wear or bring, so they normally know where those things are if anyone pull it out/take it off/borrow to wear. They are all quite lovely and cute. I would not expect this kind of attention/help from busy public school teacher, so I will try my best for her to get smoother transition. She is still at those fancy of dress up phase with bright color/silly things. They are all imexpensive and replaceable if needed. [/quote]
