Hi Wonder if you can help.

I have a DS who is 3.11 and we are having a few issues with and could do with some advice.

I will set the picture first. He has started pre school in september and goes every morning apart from Monday (hes with my mum then) and then goes to a nursery in the village, until this summer he was at a local childminders tuesday to Friday which he loved but due to a change in circumstances with the childminder we had to move him to the nursery, he always seemed settled at the nursery until just recently when he has become really over excited with other children and causing them to be upset, hes also just recently started wetting himself again ( hes been dry for well over a year now) and i am getting myself into a tether as to whether hes happy at the Nursery. he doesnt seem to say much about what happens there and when I ask him what hes been doing he wont answer and just goes "playing". When i ask him how its going at pre school he seems to love it and all his friends go there so he seems settled.

So what my question is do you think we have anything to worry about or is it just a phase hes going through and cause there are a few changes going on at the mo (preschool) i should let him settle down for a bit longer

Any help would be appreciated and also to add to the confusion i work full time.

Thanks in advnce

My 6 year old doesn't tell me what he does at school so I wouldn't worry that your 3 yr old doesn't tell you about nursery tbh. Many kids of this age don't yet have a 'Theory of Mind' so he will assume you know what he has been doing!

You know your child best and if you think he seems unhappy I would talk to the nursery staff about it. Kids do experiment with their behaviour so he could just be trying things out to see what reaction he gets from other children. My DS went through a stage of biting at about this age - only lasted a few months but I remember worrying about it.
