My daughter's nursery wants to have SENCO assess her during play and focus sessions. At parents evening they told us she can often seem like she's in her own world and they have to keep getting her attention back. They also said her social/emotional behaviour could be better, e.g winging and whining for things instead of asking calmly. In short they want better attention span and better social emotional skills.
She's otherwise confident and happy and enjoys nursery. She's imaginative and is smart. Teacher even said cognitively she's doing great. Part of me doesn't want to start this can of worms and part of me thinks well if there's something best to know early.
But isn't she just too young to be expecting these things of her?
Do nursery's refer kids to SENCO often? Is it done sensitively? I kind of feel like it's unfair on my DD to be put through this.
What would they be assessing for?
Going crazy overthinking this.
