Why is my preschooler always in trouble?

Does anyone else get notes sent home about kids losing focus when they are at their daycares or preschool? I have a 4 year old and I feel like he is ALWAYS in trouble. Makes me feel like a bad parent.

We aren't religious, but they celebrate holidays at school. What should I do?

My family and I do not believe in any holidays and it makes it hard for us because schools are always celebrating all the holidays and we keep my son home on those days. I don't know how else to handle it.

Is my child being bullied?

My kiddo is 4 and everyday she comes home and tells me that her "bestfriend" tells her she can't do things. I am scared that this may be bullying. I have talked to the child's mom briefly but she shrugs it off and laughs, says "it's just kids being kids". What should I do?

Is it okay for toddlers to experiment with makeup?

My daughter is 4 and she always asks me to use makeup because she sees me wearing it. I want her to be able to express exactly what she see/feels her role models do, not just me, but i'm scared of what others may think or say.
