[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]

For what it's worth: my child is a watcher. He spent the whole beginning of PK3 just watching the other kids. Then, when he felt more confident about the routine, after a couple of months, he got up and started participating. He's just someone who likes to get the lay of the land before plunging in himself.

Sometimes the teachers communicate with you just to establish a paper trail or baseline for future discussions. When my son was in PK3, I took such communications as a reflection on my child or my parenting, but it's just as likely something the teacher wants to brainstorm with you or simply mark for your attention -- or cover her own rear about.

As for accidents, a first-grader in my son's school had one yesterday - they happen.
