Most of you know, one of my 4 year old twins has just started reception at Mainstream and the other has carried on at her Special School.
On Friday afternoon, Ellie is going to Graces MS School with a helper for the afternoon, if these Fridays go well, it will increase.
Do you think I should ask the Teacher to have a word with the children and very very simply explain that Ellie was very poorly as a baby and her brain is a little poorly so she cant do some things that they can do?
Or just leave it for them to work it out by themselves?
Ellie is doing well but will be very behind the other children and I am sure they will notice that there is something different about her (although nothing visual)
I am not expecting any of them to be really nasty at the age of 4, but do you think it would be better for them to know she is a little different?
I don't want them just to think she is a naughty child??
