Raegan's first parent teacher conference

Raegan's new school does parent teacher conferences and we just had our first one. It's amazing to hear about how your child behaves with other people.


We know that Raegan is a great kid, but the child her teacher was describing didn't seem like our child.

Here are some examples:

Raegan @ school - plays nicely with the other kids and doesn't take toys away from anyone. Raegan @ home - is constantly getting in trouble for taking Gavin's toys and yelling at him to stop.

Raegan @ school - is very polite and always uses her manners.
Raegan @ home - says things like "Daddy, I want water NOW!"

Raegan @ school - speaks very softly and the teachers would like her to work on speaking louder.
Raegan @ home - is always being asked to speak in her "inside" voice and not scream.

Raegan @ school - never asks for seconds on snacks or lunch.
Raegan @ home - eats non-stop! we even have to either have a snack for her when we pick her up from school or stop to get her something.





Here I thought nothing we said to her was sinking in, but her teacher said that it's not how the child acts with the parents, but in social settings like school. This is the first time since she was born that I feel like I might be doing something right! Well, not quite, but close enough.
