hesitation
By Rh

It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with this kid. She's just different. This really shouldn't be a big problem. If you have pre-k, you're whole group stuff should only be a few minutes, and certainly not consume
most of the day. How is she during free play? Certainly she can try new things during free play. Her hesitation is more of a personality trait then a manipulative way of taking an easy way out of a situation. There are plenty of ways to try new things and work on personal skills during play situations. How does she interact with peers in the dress-up area? blocks? art center?

etc. Is there any particulat material that interests her? What kind of bond/relationship does she have with you? How long has she been in the program?
