Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice about my dd. She almost 5 and in nursery 5 afternoons per week. She’s been in the same nursery since her 3rd birthday.
The nursery commented on how emotional she was last year but never really done anything further. A couple of months ago they asked if I would come in for a chat about how she was getting on. They started off with...she’s lovely girl, very funny and full of energy and then started dropping in ...she has a funny accent....she mostly plays with boys....she doesn’t like doing as she’s told etc. I didn’t really know what point they were making until they suggested she is referred to the educational phycologist. I’ve asked them if they think something more serious is going on with her behaviour but they don’t give much away...it’s very frustrating...they also say she struggles taking turns but is getting better at sharing.
Outwith nursery dd is generally a happy child, she sleeps and eats well. She has a wide range of vocabulary in comparison to her peers, she does have a slight accent but it’s not put on, this is how she talks, it’s also getting less noticeable as she gets older. She’s very active, loves running about. She used to run away from me in shops or when we are out but is getting more cautious as she gets older and will mostly hold my hand, she talks very loudly all the time, she’s loving, very funny and will tell a joke to anyone who’ll listen. She openly strikes up conversations with strangers. She likes to win and sometimes goes in a huff if she doesn’t win. But not always.
Are these behaviours cause for concern or do they sound like a normal pre schooler? She seems to struggle much more are nursery than home. We don’t have a structured life and often do spontaneous things and she doesn’t bat an eyelid yet they tell me in nursery she gets very upset when things change.
So sorry for the really long post! I would appreciate any similar experiences and maybe how your children are now?
