how do you fail preschool?

If a child is not quite ready for a structured classroom setting they will be held back. A child that has less than a 20 min. attention span is sometimes held back, alot of it depends on the teacher. I have found teacher's that expect a 3-4 year old to sit still in their seats and quiet for 30 mins. at a time and that is not normal for a 3-4 year old. A preschool teacher needs to have something different going on about every fifteen mins. When I was teaching preschool my 3 year olds could write their names after the first month of school, count to 20, and memorize the poem of the week by Wednesday. My 4 year old students were taking simple spelling and math(adding and subtracting # 1-20 with no barrowing) by Christmas break. I taught a small class that can also be the key to good learning. My class was never over 14 students. Hope this helps !!

Look at the teachers credentials.  Some preschools only have high school graduates.  You should get your monies worth.  Look at the curriculum-are they providing your child with any education?  Ask for a daily schedule.  Consider class size.  Ask about their discipline policies.

I have been teaching young children for twenty years.  We use a variety of behavior management techniques.  Here are a few:\n\nProximity Control:  This is the easiest behavior management strategy, and it works much of the time.  Proximity Control means putting yourself where the action is.  Sit on the floor or at a table with the children.  Play with them or involve them in conversations.  Often just having a teacher nearby prevents problems before they even start.  \n\nModeling:   Children learn from watching us so always think about what you are doing in the classroom.  If you want children to lower their voices, then make sure you’re not yelling.  If you want children to be polite to one another, you also need to be polite.\n\nDistraction:  Sometimes you can head off an inappropriate behavior before it gets out of control, by offering an alternate activity.  This is especially effective with younger children.  \n\nRedirection:  Similar to Distraction, Redirection works by taking the emphasis off the inappropriate behavior and replacing it with a positive behavior.  The difference is that Redirection involves actually moving the child to another area of the room.  For example if two children are arguing about who can build on the block rug, you could help one child find an alternate space to build.\n\nLimited Choices:  If a child is having a difficult time controlling his or her own behavior, we can help by giving more structured choices.  This is especially helpful if a child seems to be overly excited or stimulated by the activity in the classroom.  Make sure the child always has at least three choices to pick from.  (For example, “I’m going to help you calm down a little.  Right now, you can choose to draw, read books or paint at the easel.”\n\nTime Alone:  Sometimes a child has an extreme amount of difficulty controlling his or her behavior and it is necessary to remove the child from other people for a short time.  This is usually only done when there is the threat of danger to the child, another person or equipment.  If you need to remove a child for a short time, find a place where he or she can be alone (within view of a teacher) and give the child something to do. We never use “time-outs” as a punishment.  Our Time Alone is a way for the child to calm down and regain control.  We should not have a child sit alone for more than 3-5 minutes for this age group.\n\n\nLogical Consequences:  Sometimes it is appropriate to give a consequence for a negative behavior.  If you chose to use a consequence as a behavior management technique, there are two things to remember:\n\n1. The consequence always needs to be logical.  This means that it has to make sense to the child.  If a child knocks down a friend’s block tower, it makes sense that he or she helps to rebuild the tower.  It does not make sense for that child to miss gym time later in the day. \n\n2. The consequence should take place as soon as possible after the behavior.  Even our oldest children can’t always remember what they did two or three hours ago.\n\nFamily Support:  We talk to children’s families about their behaviors on a regular basis.  This isn’t so that we can “tattle” to the parents about what happened during the day.  Rather, it is important that the children understand there is a link between school and home, and that the family and teachers are a team.\n\nHope this helps!  Good luck at your interview.

Be creative, be fun, be caring, be patient!\n\nCome up with ideas, fun things to do, be active with the kids, sometimes, sacrifice a little energy, kids love it when you can keep up with them, but you need to know when to say no, you can't teach them it's okay to just jump and climb on people. \n\nThey're little boys, get some trucks, get some games, get some movies that are kid appropriate, most likely a cartoon about racing, or legos, something of that nature. nothing controversial because it's a church family. You want something that's not going to upset the parents if they see it.\n\n--Get them involved in drawing, or sitting in a circle and play catch. observe the way things are dealt with in a preschool and a kindergarden, and mimic some of the teachers. smile a lot, but don't smile when they do something wrong, speak quietly, and tell them to calm down. don't yell, ever. \n\nMake sure to keep a soft expression, even when you're upset, you don't want the kids scared of you, but you want them to listen. read them a book before they go to bed. (( 3 and 4 might not be so easy to read too)) ...the 3 and 4 yr old will probably be extremely energetic, so when it's time for them to go to bed, you might have to put up a small struggle, but don't give in, and don't be harsh. \nThe best thing to do is to get them tired out, put them to bed, or close their doors and turn off the lights, if they're scared of the dark, use a night light. - but keep the doors closed. if the kids see things that they can do to stay awake, they'll do them. be fun during the day, and boring when it's bed time. \n\n\nPatience and love is the key to children. and, relax! have fun.

I would not ground either of my children for failing a test. Failing a test is hard enough on a lot of children, but to ground them for it..is damaging to their self esteem. If being grounded for a childs failures happens often enough then they child might stop trying, because of the fear of failure.

Any Preschool teacher who wants to keep track of her children should assess each and every one. The key to a successful assessment first and foremost is that it should be age appropriate. At Head Start we have a time line of assessments to keep up with each individual child's known skills and those they need to work according to their needs and those of the federal and state governments.\nThese assessments measure their language skills, number and letter concepts, social skills, hygiene, small and gross motor skills, social-emotional level, color and shape recognition to name a few. Input is also gathered from the parents to assist the teacher in assessments and the teacher has parent conferences to let parents know the child's strengths and become aware of areas that need more attention.

Sweetheart you are NOT a failure. The reason you think that way is because these people are making you feel that way. You brought a life into this world and made a contribution. No matter what you think, your child loves you. What you need to do first of all is to learn to love yourself. I know that you have some good qualities. Forget about the past and the mean words and move forward. Do something with that life that the good Lord gave you. Go back to school, make something of yourself by learning and getting a career. If you always think like you are now, you will never get anywhere. You have to change your thinking and make up your mind that you are going to do something to help yourself and your child. You CAN do this Honey. Let their hateful words just roll off your back and set out to prove them wrong. When you start to move in the right direction, you will began to feel better. Focus on your goals and work hard and you can make them eat those horrible words. Talk to God and ask for guidance and help. God loves you and  he will help you if you only ask him to. You CAN do this! Just make up your mind to do it. If you can dream it, you can be it! You have to love yourself even if you feel no one else does, that is the first step. Tell yourself something good about yourself every day and when you stumble and fall, get up, dust yourself off and move ahead. God speed, Sweety.=)

There are a lot of tips/ways to evaluate a child's behavior. Just search google and you'll find tons of ideas. Although you might be lucky if you are able to apply and be successful in some of these, mind you, there is no 100% full proof way to diagnose what are we parents doing wrong, what is making the child behave that way and how to correct the problem.\n\nEven if we apply the way we were brought up by our parents, it is no guarantee that our kids will be like us. Good luck!

Here are a couple of favorites from my preschool classroom.\n\nFill a basket or any kind of container with something fun like marbles, miniature cars etc.  Have your son roll a die (use two dice as he gets older) Have him count the spots on the die and then remove that many marbles, etc. from the basket.......continue taking turns until the basket is empty\n\nCut out circles, squares and triangles from construction paper.  Cut out a different number of each shape and hide them around the room then go on a shape hunt with your son.  Once you find all of them create a large graph by laying the like shapes together vertically or horizontally.  Count how many of each you have, talk about concepts such as most and least.\n\nHave your son lay down on a large piece of paper.  Trace his body and cut out.  Talk about the different body parts and label them.  Allow him to decorate his likeness with collage materials, markers, crayons etc.\n\nRead books every day.  A way to get kids excited about reading is to create a book catterpillar or train.  Make a new segment of the caterpillar or car for the train for each new book you read.  Write the name of the book on the segment and any comments your child has about the book then add it to existing bug or train and watch it wrap around the room.  \n\nThe main thing is to be in  tune with what your child likes and gear the learning towards that.  If he likes cars count toy cars, sit on a corner and count blue cars and red cars and graph, paint with cars etc.  Don't try to push anything or teach him above his years because that's the surest way to turn him off about learning.  Good luck and have fun.

If she is hitting you, very gently take her hands and hold them at her sides while telling her that hitting is not appropriate and that she should use her words.  If she refuses to do something you need her to do, pick her up and bring her to where she needs to be.  In the future, when she won't do something, ask her if she can do it on her own or if she needs help.  Most kids like to do things on their own and don't like to be picked up and made to do something in front of other kids.  Keep your voice cheerful and matter of fact (don't yell) and get down to her level when you talk to her.  If she chooses to do something on her own, give her a lot of praise.  I worked in preschools for over 3 years and found this to be very effective.

first find out what grade level they are reading on by giving them a test i forget what it is called and then find out what they have trouble on (i.e. vowels, long e, etc.) once you have found that out then you can focus on it and in the areas where they are struggling you could come up with a game to help them out and to kinda keep it on a consistant basis.

what ever place you go to please check and visit with the teachers. Ask about the curriculum and what educational components that they offer. \n\nMost preschools should have advertisements for enrollment in newspapers.\n\nBe sure you are comfortable with your childs teachers.

I would be upfront with your parents and show them the paper.  Then I would discuss why you didn't do as well as usual.  Did you understand the content?  Do you need to get some extra help from the teacher?  Your parents will appreciate you coming to them, rather than trying to hide it from them.  Also, if half the class failed, it is apparent you were not the only student who had trouble.  I would ask your teacher about going over the work again.

Every time they climb into your bed you take them back to their own. And I mean EVERY time! You will probably be exhausted before you succeed, but you will succeed as long as you are consistent. If you give in, even once, you'll have to start from scratch. Sit down with your little one and explain that mommy and daddy's bed is for them and his/her bed is for him/her. That you love them very much, but they are a big boy/girl and big boys/girls sleep in their own beds. Remind them of this each time you put them to bed. And this may take a few weeks to work. But it will work. God bless!

Why are you failing?  Because you hate doing homework or because your ex is bothering you?\n\nIf it truly is the latter, ask the teacher for a seat change.  If the problem is really bad and that does not help, ask for a different math class.
