The main reason I sent Gabby to preschool was to learn how to follow directions,learn how to take turns,to learn the world did not revolve around her,to learn she needed to share,to learn how to get along with other kids.I never stressed over the academic stuff.I think getting along with others and knowing how to follow directions is more important than know the alphabet at 4/5.Granted Gabby did know the alphabet and she was reading when she went to kdg andshe still talks about how bored she was in kdg as the teacher introduced on letter a week.SHe came home every day telling me how she and Liam played Harry Potter everyday.Not sure if this is true,since the teacher never complained about Gabby talking too much but I am sure there was some truth to it.She was probably just thrilled she did not have to teach Gabby.Is you ds around a lot of other kids his age?Is there any type of activity you can take him to where he will be around other kids or that he will be forced to focas for short priods of time?I do think it is important that they go to kdg knowong how to line up take turns and being able to listen to someone other than mom and dad.
