5years old daughter

[ennocent]

my daughter is 5 years. she is very active. she is studying her Montessori 3, she get attached to people very fast.
she is very friendly with everyone. she speak normal as 5 years.  but what i am concern is she is always in a paling mood, her class teacher said she is behaving like 2 years kid at school, she make her school bag as a play toy at school, naming it as pooh bear, my baby', like that which is a very much baby behavior as a 5 years old child.  and at home i also notice that her behavior is too baby.  it takes hours n hours for her to finish her school work her school home work. and i must  be there with her, if i am not there she ll not write a single letter. and if she writes one letter like 'A" nicely i should clap and give a hug n kiss to her. that is how she want it to be and i do that way always. and now what i notice is she forget things very soon, specially wen she do her school work

she is the youngest of all, others are grownup, her sister is 22 now.(2nd youngest) could it be because there is no other small kid than her  in the house and hence she know she is small she is acting like dis? whats your opinion about this? what do you think the reason for this?

thank you jdtm and specialmom for your comment..,
her class teacher says she is good at English compare to other student in the class and she speaks well in English., but she don't do her class work unless her teacher sits next her.. and for her it takes lots of time to finish her work at school also same like home. if the teacher is not with her she don't do her work. she would look here and there and ll be playing most of the time. and her class teacher said even though my child is 5 her behavior is like 2 years old baby. ( this is something am worried very much)  this is what happen at home also.. i must sit next her other wise she wouldn't write a single letter.

i always tel her what to do n what not to do, how to be a good girl and all that everyday,, and wen i tel her like  example" baby be the first one in the class to finish your class work, and don't play withe her bag as Barny or baby at school" she tells me yes mom this Barny is very bad every day Barny is doing that and Barny dun study and Barny is always playing and Barny is very bad" i feel like she don't take my words seriously.. she connect it with her toys :s

one more thing she does is she always talk with her school friends, over the phone (not real) if anyone who doesn't know her would think she is talking in real phone. she talks a if there is really some one over the phone.. she does this specially when their is some guest in our home or when we go out hospital , friends house like that. i feel she does that to make others  laugh.
i don't understand what to do, plz give me some idea about this.
tank you

Hm.  Well, in the US-----  5 is still considered young.  The expectations of school work are not that a child sit for great lengths of time and do class room work.  What you will find is that some kids can and others can't.  Developmental maturity has a role in this.  But I am hoping that she does not have to sit for long periods to do this work.  Learning at that age is best when games are incorporated or a bit of fun is added.  If you are trying to work with her at home---------- make a game out of ir or go on line and find some fun (more fun) work sheets for her to do.  An example would be changing the medium--------  from pencil to paper to maybe an upright dry erase board or chalkboard.  The internet has lots of free sits that offer ways to teach the necessary material to young kids.  

Is she falling way outside of normal in her peer group?  As jdtm asked, is the school concerned about her or are they just reporting this to you?

How is her learning at school?  Is she able to keep up with the rest of the children or does she have more difficulty with her lessons?  I would discuss this question with your daughter's teacher.  Perhaps the teacher can show more insight into this issue ....
