Hi,
Just looking for advice/experience of this issue Im having.
DS is 3, goes to Preschool and is currently under assessment for sensory issues. They have a few behaviour problems with him being to rough, finding it hard to calm down for floor work but they've been advised to work on a sensory diet to help.
They've noted that he is easily led by other children and will copy/join in on their behaviours. It's come to light that one of his friends that he plays with is not a good influence and the day he wasn't there DS was a different calmer child.
How do I deal with DS being led by others. At the moment the concept is over his head but is there anything I can do to help as he gets older.
He has been telling me that this child is being 'naughty' but I wrongly assumed that it was actually him and he was pretending it was someone else (wrong I know but I'm kinda used to it usually being DS)
He sometimes says he doesn't want to go because of this child and I have told DS that he doesn't have to play with him but I don't think he understands. He will then say he wants to play with him after this.
Thank you for any advice
