Hello,
Would be grateful for any advice.
I have a lovely (aren't they all!) ds, now 3 and a bit. He has a place at a state nursery from Jan 07-a very well respected local school and we're really keen for him to go there as all I've heard are great reports.
Our problem: since birth (3.5days in labour, he was over 10lb) he has had problems-couldn't turn to the left for 10mths, couldn't sleep etc-and requires constant osteopathy to help keep him relaxed and "balanced".
It's very difficult to describe but when his body is under any stress, i.e. serious(ish) illness, teething etc, then his system seems to shut down and he becomes very anxious, introverted etc. He then needs half a dozed osteopathy treatments to "sort him out".
In honesty it's been very stressful and upsetting. I went through quite bad PND because of it.
For six months over summer he didn't want to leave the house and became hysterical when pressed to do anything-because his back molars were coming through. He's now back to his usual boisterous happy outgoing self though this took time and over 10 treatments.
The reason I've bored you all with this is because all of this has disrupted his attendance at a private nursery that we booked for him-to get him used to the idea of school etc, and also to spend some time away from me.
Would you recommend talking to the state nursery school? Do you think they'd understand?
It will not work to push him into going if he is having any problems with his body, and it also maekes him more tired than usual so he starts sleeping again during the day. Do I discuss this with the school and, based on experience, are they likely to listen/accomodate etc?
I'd be really grateful for any feedback. I'm new to mumsnet and appreciate the help. Thanks.

Pls read. Do I talk to the school and would it make any difference?
