Dd starts school next September and I am becoming increasingly aware that she isn’t likely to be ready emotionally or academically.
She will be one of the oldest in the class too.
She has been with us nearly 3 years and has been attending nursery 4 days a week for a while now but it is becoming increasingly obvious that she is behind her peers.
Right now she can not identify any letters or numbers, she has no muscle control to form them with a pen. She can do colours and count to ten plus shapes.
I can help with this sort of thing but how do I help with the developmental side? If she gets upset she often bursts into tears and needs the toilet or will wet herself. Despite having a brother she isn’t great at taking turns, sharing attention and expressing emotions without getting frustrated and upset.
I feel out of my depth as my birth son was developmentally ahead by a long while so was more than ready. What do I do to help her please?
