My daughter just started Kindergarten last month, so I'm very new to the whole being a parent to a school aged child thing. One thing that I didn't have when I was in school that she has is an app that the teacher can give and take away points on a daily basis depending on behavior. I think it's a good thing in that I can keep in the loop as to how well she's doing, and I know right away if there's a major issue but I'm unsure how much stock I should put in it.
Tuesday she had 4 "needs improvements" moments and no "positive" moments. But there have been days when she has 5 or 6 positives and no needs improvements. It kind of feels like micromanaging to be worried so much about when she has these needs improvement moments. I do take the time each day to tell her how proud I am of the amount of positives she has as I feel like positive reinforcement works well with her. I also make a point ask her what happened at school every day. In doing so, I've realized her first answer is always explaining what happened with the negatives. My answer hen I was a kid what letter I learned or the fact that my classmate had a unicorn shirt and I loved the sparkles.
I guess I'm a little afraid that this program is putting too much pressure on these need improvement moments instead of allowing her to quickly move on from it.
Any teachers or other parents want to weigh in?
