[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately behaving in an age appropriate way for a five year old, especially boys, is considered too immature for today's kindergarten. As hard as it is for boys, it must be even more difficult for the random girl who is a little less mature. Moms of well behaved girls are generally so judgemental of others who are not as smart/pretty/well behaved as their own daughters. I really feel for the less mature girls even more than the boys. At least the boys have a sizeable peer group behaving just as naughty or spirited as the next boy.[/quote] Both my kids acted appropriately in kindergarten. The [b]majority[/b] of kids do, regardless of sex.[/quote] Avtually, the majority act like five year olds, which is not what the expectations are anymore for kndergarten. Little boys have a much more difficult time in kindergarten than little girls. Ask any kindergarten teacher and they will tell you the exact same thing. Boys have a much harder time adapting to kindergarten expectations and can sometimes take all year to get there. First grade teachers will say the same thing. [/quote]
