My son just begun kindergarten and the teacher is telling me that he's really struggling to stay focused and hoentsly don't know how to feel about it

Had a quick chat with his teacher today and she mentioned that he drifts off a lot during group activities. Well She didn’t say it in a negative way, just more like something to keep an eye on. But now it’s stuck in my head cause at home he’ll spend forever building random things or getting deep into something he enjoys so I didn’t really think attention was an issue. But maybe structured settings are different?

I don’t know if this is just normal 3–5 year old behavior or something I should be more intentional about helping with.

Can I really find engaging activities so regularly for my kid without breaking the bank?

Am a first time parent with a 3.5 yo and it's been a struggle for me not constantly finding new activities to do, for instance, I get them to draw, play with blocks, paint or read and they get involved for a little while but then they want something else to do and I've got nothing else to give. am here for any help. Thanks

Anyone tried parallel plays with their kids?

I've one kid and he's been indoors for most of the time and he just turned 3yrs. I want him to develop awareness of their peers and their surroundings. Have seen that parallel play helps young minds develop a firm foundation for their communication and emotional regulation skills. We’ve got several kids his age from the apartment and they’re willing to be together. What do I need and who has tried this before?
