5 year old dd in year 1 in state primary. Met with teacher this week. I know she is young for age, and having issues sitting still most of the day it seems. Teacher confirmed this. Inferred that she is pretty behind and has problems with attention span, more than anyone else. I just wondered, has anyone else had this experience? I am starting to think if we should try to afford private. I know she loves creative subjects and not much room in state curriculum for it. Also think maybe a smaller class would help her. Though not sure how we would afford it. School good though class pretty crammed. If she was happy and socially ok I would leave it but she is not. Any advice gratefully received.
