discipline

my son is 3 years 2 months old. he loves to be social but needs few days to be normal with the new group. He has been going to kindergarten ever since he was 2 yrs old and had been going to playgroup (accompanied by me) prior to that. he behaves very normal at home but in school he is too disciplined. he doesnt snatch, listens to teacher, doesnt run around during the class, clean up his toys after finished playing with them, no scream... just too disciplined in school whereas all other kids do something or the other. He gets scared if any other kid shouts or snatch his toy... i am worried as this may lead him to be an introvert and also being bullied by others and being dull. he is nt the same at home though. do i need to worry?

i have already spoken to the teachers and they say everything is fine. he is the only one who keeps seated unless he is told to get up, no fighting, no screaming and a very calm boy which he isnt otherwise at home. At home he is active but yeah not very naughty. i am afraid if this would affect him emotionally.

As u mentioned, he is quite social.. u need to talk with him very politely n taking him in confidence. Just ask ur son - is he afraid of someone at school or is he having some kind of fear for school? Just a suggestion, try making some kind of story of school n tell him to complete it.. may be, u will get some hint.

thnks Rim for the suggestion.. have already tried tht but he doesnt say anything. Recently, there have been a new teacher who he doesnt like, however, i have attended her class during playgroup and she is very gentle. have addressed this to the class teacher as well

hi Shruti Agarwal! the way u have described your child is the description of how an ideal child should be like. had it been vice versa , naughty at school and calm at home or receiving complaints from school for being too aggressive , it would have been a cause of concern. he seems little shy, but I am sure with your love and support he would come around. enjoy his childhood with him! hope this helps!

Hi shruthi , I have a 5 years who too had the same behavior , we too were worried about him , but after his 3rd year his behavior changed on his own, we should let them grow and learn things on their own until and unless it's very serious, trying to change his mentality may cause inconvenience to him or her.
