[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I get very nervous when I read posts like the post above - we have an energetic boy starting at Beauvoir next year - any current parents care to give advice to a new parent of an energetic boy? is the above post true? Do boys really have a hard time there?[/quote] Lots of kids are high-energy at Beauvoir.  It depends on whether your child is "high-energy" and very self-directed/independent and does not like following direction.

Some people feel that "high-energy" kids automatically will do better in a school that offers a less traditional approach.  However, we have a "high-energy" child who also likes (and thrives in) an environment that has a certain amount of structure.  The predictability of the routine each day is something he seems to need.  He seems to have plenty of opportunities to burn off his energy throughout the day and has yet to complain about school.  I would discuss your concerns with your current school and find out what they think.  We were surprised when our preschool suggested Beauvoir for our son because, as you can see from this board, there is a lot of misinformation about what the school is like and we assumed our child wouldn't fit in there.  Now I can't imagine him anywhere else.[/quote]

Wow. My son just turned three and I don't even know how to describe him, even after two years in a play group. I am amazed that parents are so attuned to their children's learning style. Is it just that my son is too young? He's energetic (usually at the wrong time unfortunately!) yet sometimes shy and usually sweet and sometimes very bad about sharing. That's about the best I can do to describe him. I feel so overwhelmed by choosing schools in a year.
