My son comes home occasionally with artwork from school that is not the same as the detailed stuff he does at home. Today I found out that the other kids tease him about the trains he draws....(which are fantastic for 4 years). So when he came home with scribbles today I obviously praised him for his art but then he just can't stop drawing the trains when we get home from school. I feel he is "dumbing down" to fit in with his peers....should i just leave it at that? or shall i have a word with his teacher (who already has the opinion that i am a pushy mum i'm sure...but i'm really not. just want him to be happy, secure and challenged properly. What i should do?
