[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many kids are in the classroom and how much structure is there?

My child had aggressive behavior in pre k. She wanted to engage with the other kids but didn't know how. Plus, the school, by design, was uunstructured and let kids take the lead on activities and interactions. This stressed her out, but she didn't have the emotional vocabulary to tell us. When we got her in a more structured supportive school, the aggression completely disappeared.

For a psychologist, I recommend Paula Elitov. She will observe at school and make recommendations. For us, we also had her evaluate and make a provisional diagnosis, which worked well until we got a neuropsych a few years later.[/quote]

PP with a similar boy ... we think the same exact issue is happening with us!  Wants to play, doesn't know how, and too much unstructured time in school (plus a really high teacher-student ratio).   I really wish we could find a more structured and supportive school, but it seems like in this area that the ratios get pushed up as high as they can go as soon as licensing permits them to.

How did you determine that the new school offered better structures and support?[/quote]
