And that Eric, got to love him. :-) <BR/><BR/>I think at a kindergarten level, learning to behave and socialize is every bit as important as the academics, even more important, if you ask me. So I wouldn't rush to move him to a gifted program. After all, most people in this world are not gifted.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543707725128550394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-65017354721680806422007-08-12T07:34:00.000-07:002007-08-12T07:34:00.000-07:00Yes, I would say that kissing isn't technically to...Yes, I would say that kissing isn't technically touching.

I can understand that there should be no poking, but it is a normal kindergarten behavior. I also think it's sad that kids aren't allowed to show their friends compassion by putting their arm around them or holding their hand. Though I am sure Eric was testing the teacher, I think it shows great parenting that he feels comfortable being affectionate with his friends. I agree that he probably just isn't being challenged. Hopefully the teacher can keep him busy. Tell his teacher that if he's got too much time on his hands, then maybe she should be putting him in a chess tournament vs. the computer! Hugs! It will get easier. The beginning of the year is always hard when the teachers are trying to mold the kids to their way of thinking.....<BR/>~Sarah~Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961062780068712820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-76874108522246025512007-08-09T21:20:00.000-07:002007-08-09T21:20:00.000-07:00I LOVE HIM!
