My 5 yr old starts kindergarten in 2 weeks, and i'm starting to get REALLY nervous. She's very bright and excelled in pre-k, but over the summer her attitude and ways of thinking have changed. Now she's very insecure like, quiet when addressed. She's even flinching when people raise their hands, like we beat her or something! I'm not sure if she's watched something thats taught her that this way of behavior is okay, which i can't fathom. She is with me 90% of the day, and the 10% she's sleeping! Ive been at home with her for all 5 years. This all started about 3-4 weeks after pre-k got out. I called the teacher even and asked if anything happened to her, or if something happened to another child, but of course no answers there. I'm worried about her entering kindergarten with a fearful insecure onset. She's NEVER been that way, and i'm very scared that she'll start her school experience in a bad way.Anyone ever see this in their child? Anyone with advice on what to do?
