My daughter is in second grade and complains about school all the time. When I ask why she says it is so boring. I have met and spoken with her teacher who says things seem to be going well. I am puzzled because I feel 7 years old is too young to be bored or to dislike school. I want my daughter to enjoy school. Any thoughts/experiences/suggestions? TIA
Re: 2nd grader bored at school?
In K and 1st, kids don't have such a sophisticated awareness of time. By the end of 2nd grade, kids know that the part of winter that comes after Christmas break is kind of a drag. But kids who are 7 or 8 also really enjoy spending time with friends, so it might help to remind her that even though school involves a lot of sitting and working, it also involves seeing her friends!
