There are a few threads on boys in nurseries/reception who are being assessed for 'behavioural problems'. We're currently going through this with our third(ds2) because he is showing aggressive behaviour at times in nursery and won't sit for story time or join in singing. This seems to be the same in the other threads I've read.
How do people feel about this? Are we expecting too much of certain young boys - perhaps the ones like my second son who hate to be still and love exploring/taking apart/seeing how everything works. Being still is nearly impossible for him .First son was totally different. As for dd, I would have been a very smug person if I had only her .
Love to hear your thoughts.
