“We’re not seeing ‘bad behaviour.’ We’re seeing children who haven’t been explicitly taught the skills school now expects — listening, emotional regulation, independence, and boundaries. These are learnable skills, and families need clear guidance on how to teach them before school.”
“Many of the challenges parents are worried about — hitting, talking back, ignoring instructions — are signals of missing skill-building, not defiance. School can’t replace what needs to be taught consistently at home.”
— Kindergarten Teacher, Canada 2026
