To think nursery should talk to me about this?

[Breckenridged]

Actually I really don’t know. DD (my oldest) was always exceptionally well behaved at nursery so this is new territory.

DS (nearly 4) is having a bit of a tough time at nursery at the moment. The other kids have been leaving him out a bit and one in particular is pretty unkind to him (I’ve witnessed this. The boy in question has also done a couple of unkind things to me).

Some of the things DS has told me that he (DS, not the other boy) has done over the past fortnight include screaming indoors, refusing to join in with activities, disobeying the staff’s requests about various things and telling the boy that he doesn’t like that he wants to chop him up (!!) Staff haven’t mentioned anything to me and I just wonder if I should bring it up with them? They’re always very bright and breezy at drop off and pick up so not sure if I’m over reacting getting quite worried about it.

I’d bring it up with them

Talk to them. Always better that they know, they may not have spotted stuff or he may be exaggerating, but it’s always good to open lines of communication in case things do get worse.

I would definitely talk to them about it. They won't mind and you'll feel better.

Also allows your son to see you are trying to make it better too.

From what you describe they'll probably know about the other kid already (if they don't then that would probably worry me).

Thank you Had a chat and you’re right, they have already noticed and I do feel better about it.
