Daycare Feedback on Toddler

posted 16th Apr
My son is almost 2 1/2 and each day when I pick him up from daycare I ask how his day was of the care giver that is onsite. One of his care givers has lately replied with comments such as 'he isn't listening, but not any more or less then usual', he runs around, he's rambunctious, etc. I've asked if there was any specific examples and when I'm given them, they are nothing that I would think would be unusual for a active boy of his age. We provide discipline and consequences for misbehavior at home and keep my son on a consistent schedule. My son is gentle with younger children, gets along with kids his age,has pretty good table mannersetc. Should I be concerned with these comments or continue what we already are doing and chalk it up to his age?

What kind of examples did she give? Also how old is the care giver? That normally has alot to do with it.

I wouldn't worry about it, specially because it's only one care taken that said that! And age has alot to do with it too! My daughter when to a sitter for 2 days until I relized that one care taker was being mean to her because I was younger then she was and I guess was jealous that I had a child and she didn't.

I used to teach a class of 2 1/2 yr olds. There were a few kids who could sit quietly and do projects, or stay still during a story, but the other 90% just wanted to play and be kids.Daycares often expect way too much out of young children.
Of course there are the kids who are little terrors, book rippers, toy throwers, biters,screamers,etc..butthey are few and far between, and we always considered family life and they were probably just stressed out or did have a genuine lack of discipline at home.
If he's running around when everyone is sitting, or disturbing others at naptime, things of that nature, you should talk to him about how when he's at school the teacher is in charge. Kids occaisionallythrow out the "You're not my mom, I don't have to listen to you". They think if mom isn't there, the rules are different.
