My son is 5 and in year 1 at primary school. His teacher is concerned with the fact that he is very, very shy and reserved, doesn't interact much in groups, daydreams, hardly speaks to anyone, and gets fixated on things. She first raised this issue with myself and DH at the last parents evening a few weeks ago. We both laughed it off at the time and assured her that we are not at all worried about our son, as he is very much the way that we were as children. We know he is a very happy boy both at school and at home. I thought that would be the end of her worries about him.
We put his new teacher's reaction to our son's personality down to her lack of experience. He has been through nursery and reception year with no problems. His teachers have always commented on his shyness, good behaviour and good learning with no problems.
I have just had a phone call from one of the teachers school. She taught my son in reception.
She told me that my son's new teacher has asked her to speak to me regarding her concerns my son's 'odd' behaviour at school.
They are recommending that he is seen by SENCO
I have told her that my son is completely normal and happy, he is learning lots and that his new teacher is overreacting.
I have refused this intervention as I feel it is inappropriate.
I am so cross that I'm actually shaking now. I have a feeling this won't be the end of it. I wonder what she thinks is going on with him at home? I'm going to talk to DH tonight.
I don't know what we are going to do next.
Has anyone else had any experience of this? Please help!
