My son is 3 and is an only child. Very few of my friends have children and he is the only grandchild on both sides of our family. Therefore he is used to adult company and getting everything his way! He seems very shy but since going to nursery 4 days a week, he has opened up a little although it took quite a while until he felt comfortable to speak at nursery. He's very good at puzzles, construction type of toys and enjoys playing games like hungry hippos but i seem to notice that he lacks imagination. He does come up with the odd thing which indicates he uses he's imagination but at nursery where the other children play with each other, chat and role-play, he doesn't play role-playing games with others. Is this normal? Is there anything we can do to help him? Anyone else experienced similar and the children have grown out of it? Would love to hear from you.
