My 4 yr old has started school. Beginning of week 3 was called in as the teacher has concerns about his communication skills and the fact he was hitting out at her and pupils ( this started the week I was taken into to hospital suddenly) So it was new enviroment , new routine and no mummy, I figure this was a factor but they don't.Have only ever seen him hit in retaliation before, Tried to give her plenty of background re his behaviour at home, He's not a great socialiser like his older brother, but he likes who he likes. He's very strong willed, speech can be muddled sometimes,makes himself clear when he needs to. his big bro(6) often speaks for him , remembers huge chunks of dialogue from various films and often comes out with speeches randomly.If you ask him something you sometimes get 'thunder 2 is on fire' no matter what you ask, but is that so bad? He's only 4!I'm allowing the school to carry out tests via their senco person and local authority paediatric consultant and he has an appointment unrelated to this with baby unit check up as he was 8 weeks prem. I'm aware he has mixed ability but I figure it's because he was prem and was happy to wait til things balance out. the worst thing about his behaviour is he poos his pants every day but manages to wee in the loo, he's not bothered about pooing just smiles and says 'what's that smell?' and asks for a shower, have tried just cleaning him up and not showering, doesn't make much difference.He's delightful and affectionate and a great sense of humour am hoping it's just the new enviroment, have him on half days now as 8.25 til 3.30 was a bit of a shock to him after his laid back existence prior.I'm just hoping I've put him in the right enviroment, He seems to like school and goes in happily most days, any body can help me see through this time. I love his strength of character they ain't gonna be able to knock that out of him.
