My child has just started part-time at a lovely nursery. The teachers seem very caring, the group size is small and ds seems perfectly happy to go there for 2.5 hours 3 times a week. However, he has started to have bad dreams since he has started going to the nursery. These only coincide with nursery days and in the dreams he tends to say things like "I want to do glueing" or "I don't want to do painting". I don't think he remembers the dreams in the mornings and I don't want to mention them in case they become a big deal.
Question is: should I leave this to blow over as he gets more use to nursery or can I do something. For example, are there any books on bad dreams that he and I could read together - this would not necessarily be to highlight his dreams but just to talk generally on the subject and give him the vocabulary to tell me about his thoughts if he becomes more aware of the dreams.
Can anyone suggest any books/anything else here?
Thanks
