I've just picked my son up from nursery today and been informed that they would like him taken to the doctors to see about glue ear as he is not listening to the teacher. He has also been taking toys off other children and I think being too rough.
They have said that if the hearing is found to be OK then they will discuss some "next steps".
I'm obviously really concerned but also confused as to how abnormal this is? More often than not I'm told that he has been "fantastic" though there are some weeks where he isn't listening or sharing well. She always caveats it by saying that he is one of the youngest in the class (July born).
At home, I don't find him badly behaved. Listening probably is the thing he does worst of all, but he doesn't tantrum, isn't aggressive and is generally quite placid and happy. We could be stricter about the listening and not repeating ourselves and we will agree how we will approach that.
Finally, I've found that he seems to be coming out of nursery bursting for the toilet. DH took him to the park earlier this week after nursery and he had an accident despite being potty trained since summer. I've noticed at home that he gets silly when he needs the toilet as he seems to hold on too long, and become agitated. I can tell when he needs it as he holds and releases his breath.
Has anyone else had experience like this? Is my 3 year old really that bad? I'm worried he's going to start school with a label
