[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.
So, Little Boy sat in his chair and wet himself yesterday. This is a kid who will wake up in the middle of the night to go potty, so I'm not sure if this was just one of those things or a sign that he's really struggling. His teacher also sent a note home that he tends to watch the other kids while they are working rather than focusing on his own.

Sigh. Parent-teacher conferences are coming up soon, but I'm really thinking that this is just not a good fit.[/quote]

Is he in a Montessori school/program? I am asking because you used the word "work."

My kids are at a Montessori school, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt, but:

Re: wetting himself: my PK4 kid, who is nighttime potty trained, has the occasional accident at school because he gets so distracted. May not be the case for your kid, but I would get more information on when the accidents are happening. Maybe he isn't totally comfortable on where the bathroom is yet?

Him watching other kids "work" is not necessarily a bad thing, but I understand it comes off that way if the teacher is sending a note home. I'd talk to the teacher at parent-teach conferences to see if they are concerned; if so, why; ask if the teacher tries to engage him when he is just sitting; etc.

Sorry it's been a rough transition. The first few months doing dual-kid drop off at out Montessori (LAMB) was honestly hell last year. It was a huge adjustment for PK3.[/quote]
