My ds is 2 and 5 months. He attends nursery 2 mornings a week and the staff there have commented that he is very happy doing things by himself for most of the time, only joining in a bit more with the other children usually when it's nearly home-time! At home too, he seems to like me and my dh to just sit and watch him play, not actually join in (although we are allowed to help with the ocasional jigsaw or drawing!).
When he is with his friends, he just seems to play 'around' them not with them, sometimes getting upset at first until he 'settles' in. Also the concept of sharing is completely alien to him! Is this normal behaviour? Has anyone else got a toddler the same - some reassurance that this is normal would be great!! Thanks.
