This week has been quite a tough one for my 5 year old and I. She usually has learning difficulties. There are days when she chooses not to do class work and gets in trouble for it with her teacher. Her kindergarten teacher will send a note home with her and have me sign it and return it the following day. I don't mind her teacher doing this. My daughter can be stubborn and won't do her work if she doesn't want to. I am usually the one who teaches my children the alphabet,#'s, colors, to write. The "basics" in order to have a headstart and not a difficult time in class. Well I failed to teach her anything before she started kindergarten :( I tried. I really did. You can say that I ended up giving up because she wasn't interested, would whine, cry, throw tantrums, throw up, or have no real concept on how to hold a pencil. She would put no effort in trying to develop that motorskill. The day came and her first day of school came. She really disliked school. It was a struggle for the 1st month. It took her a month to finally hold a pencil right and write her name. 2 months to learn how to write her first and last name. Never did I ever have such a hard time with my other 2 children. My boy isn't a star student like my second is but he tries and does an excellent job if taught one on one. Back to my main concern. My 5 year old (regarding school discipline wise) She's been coming home this week with not doing class work, stealing class treats, drinking teacher soda and who knows what other mischief she gets into *sigh* I find out sometimes by teacher and other times by her personally. Today it upset me to the point where I spanked her. I feel horrible to admit that I don't know how to deal with her constant bad behavior. Can anyone PLEASE give me some advice on how to deal with her negative behavior... She knows the rules. Promises every morning that she will behave but gets into other trouble. I don't expect perfection because I'm not. It's the repeated offenses she is doing. Like being sneaky (drinking teacher soda) stealing. I really have lots to deal with when it comes to her learning difficulties. Help me please. How would you deal with a child like mine?

5 year old girl stealing from teacher in class
Hi,I am a mother of two kids. In my opinion, your daughter is not yet ready for learning or going to school. She maybe a late bloomer. Don't force her to go to school or to learn. It will just come when she's ready. In her stealing problema nd drinking soda from her teacher, she's just doing this stuff ..maybe so that she don't need to go to school in a reason that she's not beahaving in there.Spend more time with her, understand her or ask her what she wants before u think what you want for her.
