My son has just started school. Last night was the first parents evening. I had a 10 minute slot. I was feeling very keen to learn how my son had been getting on, but I wasn't prepared at all for what they said! Basically there were no positive comments at all! They said he was under achieving, could not concentrate, was naughty with the friends he had made, couldn't hold a pencil, did not follow their instructions, always needed prompting or support to do an activity and would not make eye contact. They did not seem pleased with him. They were quite abrupt in their manner. I came away feeling bewildered! I did not see this coming at all! I feel so surprised that they had nothing positive to say! The nursery he went to before school said very different things. They said he seemed intelligent, inquisitive, always asked questions and communicated with them well. I feel quite upset and not sure where this has come from. He is one of the youngest in his class but when I made this point they seemed to take it as me trying to make an excuse. Anyone been in this situation? Any ideas? what can I do?
