[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]a lot of kindergarteners - particularly boys -- really do act out early in the year - even if they went to preschool/pre-K - adjusting to a different environment. [/b] The teachers and aides are working to establish the boundaries of acceptable behavior and their systems for behavior and consequences.  I'd suggest keeping in touch with the teacher daily at this point - while I know no one wants to be 'that' parent - it sounds like it's enough that you want to keep an eye on it.  and if it persists go in for a mtg or just go in to observe the class (ask to go in to read a book or whatever).  I asked our k-teacher about something my kindergartener said at home that sounded unusual and I got the context for it so it made sense.  DS in kindergarten at a JKLM & at this age it's hard to tell when the boys say 'i'm gonna punch you in the face' if it's like 'hey buddy, let's play' or if it's menacing.  Nine of out 10 times, it's the former.  But we do still try to teach our son that we don't talk that way to our friends & just say 'let's play'.  [/quote]

This.  I wouldn't take behavior at this stage to be indicative of long-term patterns.  I'd watch and see whether things settle down over the next few weeks.  The OP's kid doesn't seem to be upset by any of this, so there's no urgency.  [/quote]
