One teacher said that my dd age 6 does not listen what she's being told, can happen at home aswell.

Any ideas please?

I would make a chart system which the teacher will fill out everyday. and when get 5 checks/stickers will get a prize( something small from the dollar store like an eraser or bracelet). or after everyday she listened teacher writes a note and you give her a prize. I am a preschool teacher and these work wonders. not everyday the child is good but there is a major improvement when you have some sort of system and the parent is involved. start getting on top of it now.

was she like this a whole year or did this just start now? if its just now could be she is getting bored in class and just needs more stimulating things to do.
a suggestion for at home. have something special going on at home eg. coloring , dessert. bedtime story, special snack the next day in school ... and if child behaved well child will have this.

good luck and be strong.

You have to work with the teacher together on that. Maybe a chart in school then she brings home something to show you....

I agree with the stickers and if she earns a certain amount she gets a prize - this way it's not about perfection but her efforts towards the goal ...

Thank you all so much. She was like that from the beginning of the year (and before that too..!) and I think stimulation with reward will work!
