They are easily embarrassed.
Kids this age are very much aware of a right and wrong way to do things, and they are embarrassed when they find that their actions aren’t in line with the correct ways. This can include the most basic tasks, such as putting a backpack in the correct spot or using eating utensils correctly.
What you should do: Help your child avoid doing embarrassing things. Be active about answering your child’s questions about how to act, in and out of school. Go so far as to role-play at home to make your child more comfortable when she goes to school.
