[quote=Anonymous]This can be frustrating but it really does taper off in later grades.

You get the point.

Teach your daughter that people learn things at different rates. And that these boys are learning how to be calm at a different rate. Talk to your teachers about what they can do to help make the classroom environment better for everyone, including the boys who are having trouble controlling themselves. This happens everywhere.

I started laughing and she said "You must be the mother of boys." When I asked her how she knew, she said that the mother of girls only glare at her...[/quote]
