My son just turned 4 and is an only child with a stay-at-home mom. He is in preschool with 12 girls, 3 other boys. He is energetic, enthusiastic, talkative, compassionate and curious. In the past two months of his M-W-F 2.5 hr class, he has had three specific days where (1) poked a couple of children with his finger and bopped his best friend on the head with a playdough roller (2) nudged a child while standing in line to switch positions so as to be next to his best friend. These three incidents have raised the flag with his teachers as issues out of the norm. In my 1 hour conversation with these two female teachers, not one positive word was said about my son. While my son plays with many other children in my home as well as other homes without me present, this behavior is not demonstrated nor do any of these other parents see my son as other than a healthy, energetic, fun, kind and beautiful boy, whom they also enjoy, as well as their children.
Please help me understand if this is within normal range and what your feelings are with regards to if this preschool environment is suitable for a curious and enthusiastic boy.
