[quote=Anonymous]OP, my daughter could be described much like your son. She has a teacher this year who gives out more negative feedback than positive. It was quite the adjustment because she is at the same school and preK was more warm. At the first conference, my only feedback from the teacher was that my daughter is easily distracted in class. She would continually receive comments like "keep trying", "you can do better than this", "take your time". DD. Was taking her time...I know because I sat with her while she did the homework each night. She is the youngest in the class so I believe that was part of the issue. Her penmanship was behind her peers and they're learning cursive. One time, DD was sad because her teacher told her she hadn't done a good job on her assignment.

The first compliment she received (that I am aware of anyway) came in early November. After school, my DD ran to me excitedly because she teacher told her that she had done very well. It's made her day. She has since received positive feedback at least half of the time on assignments and projects and I have to admit, there is a huge improvement in quality. I really like her teacher now. When she gives a compliment, it's warranted. And I kind of like that DD is getting a taste of what the real world is like. Some people are blunt. She has worked much harder as well. I initially felt that K was too early for this, but I don't know now.[/quote]
