Is my child delayed ?

Your child may have a different way of learning than school does. There are visible learners, kinetic learners, verbal learners, an audio learners. Schools don't always cater to children with different need.Because of the different ways they learn. So school standards don't always work for every child.
I think you're doing an amazing job.

I agree with Amelia you are doing great unfortunately schools have a strict tick box for learning milestones
Keep encouraging learning in a fun supportive way
You know your child best

I mean... I don't have a 4yo but this sounds like normal shit to me. Kids take years to be able to correctly identify colours, shapes, numbers. And many times they can identify them correctly at home or in a familiar setting (like you said with the number line), but cannot do the same in a novel context. I think it will click. I don't think these are things she necessarily NEEDS by 4 years old - she can learn her colours and numbers etc. pretty quickly in school, that's what it's for.

I think preschool puts too much emphasis on academics tbh, and I've heard grade school teachers complain about this problem. They get kids in their class all the time who can recite their letters and add simple numbers, but don't have the finger strength to write their name because instead of playing with playdough, they were learning academics. Kids learn best through play, that's what she should be doing right now.

former kindergarten teacher and I hard agree. I do not care about academics in preschool at all. We need to stop forcing literal babies to learn their letters before they can zip their coats or take turns. Academics will come. Focus on social and emotional skills first.

OP just keep practicing in fun ways with songs and games and stories. Really low stakes.

Based on what you wrote here, I would not be concerned.

Bless her she’s 4 ! Surely, this is just the beginning and some children take longer than others ?

Are they suppose to be doing Advance Geometry at this age ?

Also, Rhombus I can’t even say that correctly or know what it is lol 😂

Regarding pen holding, try In her left hand. My son was penalised for years but he’s left handed. He has autism and adhd but when we changed his school he thrived and is now close to top of the class. It was 100% a them problem. There’s so much pressure on teachers to hit targets now they don’t give the kids chance to learn at their own pace or their own ways of doing things. X

Are you also a single language home, or is is dual language? That also makes a difference, because their brain is working harder to try to differentiate between the two languages.

exactly! Like your kid is going to sit through my letter lessons regardless. It’s like teaching a kid algebra before putting them in an algebra class.

Also a teacher and the only thing I would say that others haven’t mentioned is just to be sure it’s not a potential issue with her expressive language/speech. I can’t fully tell based on your description whether that could be an issue or not. It definitely sounds like her receptive language is great!

She has plenty of time to learn these things! I just wonder if she’s been in a formal school environment for this entire school year where these skills have been taught explicitly since September if the teacher is trying to hint that she thinks something else is going on? It’s hard to say without having more context, obviously.

I’m NOT trying to say your child is delayed. I’m just trying to parse through your description and what the teacher said and maybe figure out what exactly they’re trying to suggest to you.
