DD is nearly 5, in reception. Loves school, doing very well, talks happily about it and about the other children. Refers to playing with particular kids; I only pick her up once a week but more than once another child has approached her to play in the playground after school - not for a few weeks, but it's colder and wetter now.
At parents' evening was taken aback to discover that her teacher is concerned about her social skills, and that she struggles to make friends. They've put her in an ELSA group to support that; I've got a meeting after school today with the teacher to discuss it further as I was so surprised at the parents' evening I didn't really get a chance to process it. I had thought this might be an area where she had difficulties as she is... kind of... odd. But she seemed so happy, I stopped worrying about it, thought everything was going well.
If it were you, what would you be asking the teacher at the meeting tonight?
TIA!
