How do I find a balance when trying to help encourage my child to grow?

How can we best encourage our little ones without pushing too hard or hand holding too much? It's something I really struggle with and I feel like no matter what I do things are out of balance. Anyone else deal with these feelings? Maybe this is the "mom guilt" everyone has been talking about?

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?
