[quote=Anonymous]Op, I went through the same thing with my DS when he was that age. What I eventually found out was that his pre-K teacher expected a lot from her kids and he just didn't fit into her mold. She caused quite a stir in our house for way too long because we were so worried. She constantly complained about DS, told us that he likely had Oppositional Behavior Disorder, and that she would never recommend him for early entrance to K (his bday missed the cutoff by 12 days) because of his behavior and because he was academically behind his peers. Turns out she was wrong. He just wasn't interested yet. Interest in learning what someone else wants you to learn is huge when it comes to just getting starting on academics. I wouldn't be too worried until your child turns 5 or so. By the way, we moved to another state and DS did start K earlier than MCPS would have allowed. He is doing fine. He's on track with his peers academically and his teacher says that she enjoys having him in class. We didn't pressure him to learn and we didn't spend countless hours preparing him for school either. It just clicked when he was ready.[/quote]
