First Parent-Teacher Meeting

Uncategorized Add comments

Yesterday, while dropping Logan off at school, the teacher casually asked me to set up a meeting to discuss Logan’s development.  I got nervous as I imagined all the possible reasons for the meeting, therefore, being the impatient me, once I got to work I arranged for the meeting on the same day. 

When I arrived for the meeting the director of the daycare had to give her little spiel about how they are different from other daycares and how they help with kids’ development before she finally told me the reason for the meeting.  They felt that Logan does not seem very interested in walking without assistance.  He would walk with the pushcart or walk along furniture, but if he was asked to walk over to the teachers, Logan would rather go down on his knees to crawl.  Sometimes he may even choose to stay where he was instead of trying to walk.  Logan is a bit “too content” according to the teachers.  They suggested us to explore the situation with the doctor to ensure that there is no specific reasons for the lack of interest. 

I was relieved after learning that their concern was not a major one.  The meeting turned out to be quite nice since I got to learn about some things Logan does at school, like how he is with the group activities, how he follows the routines and what he does at naptime.

Today after school/work, we were hanging out in the yard.  Logan was very excited to practice walking; he walked short distances between Stuart and I multiple times.  He walked slower pace and more steady now.  He must have heard about the meeting we had and wanted to avoid another confrontation.

    Ah, those crackpot, Nor Cal, liberal teachers. If he’s not progressing exactly how they feel he should be, there must be something wrong with him….”TO THE DOCTOR WITH YOU!” Well done Logan for showing your individuality. KEEP FIGHTING THE WACKO LIBS!

    My take on this is that Logan is a genius and they just aren’t challenging him enough. Walking…who needs walking when people can bring you stuff. Genius I say.

    I agree with Daddy! He IS walking..just doing it fast!

    Definitely agree with Andrew. All kids start walking at different times. Yes, there may be a “norm” but they all develop at their own pace. And Stuart’s right. Why walk when all he has to do is flash that brilliant smile and have people come running to wait on him hand and foot. You go boyee!
