My very good friends DS turned four in August and started Reception last week.
He is a sweet, energetic little soul and she loves him dearly but I am concerned that she is refusing to acknowledge speech and behaviour issues that could make his education suffer.
He has a zero concentration span and she has already been called in to a parents meeting about him being disruptive in class.
His speech is incredibly difficult to understand. Its as though his tongue is too large for his mouth. Its upsetting seeing him getting so frustrated because he cannot be understood by everyone. The nursery he attended before starting school highlighted his speech issue but she chose not to take up speech therapy (which I know can be incredibly effective at this early age).
I really don't want to upset her, but I do feel that she needs to acknowledge his issues and get the appropriate help before the problems get worse. And if anyone is planning on saying "its none of your business" thank you, but I am already aware of this. I just want advice on what I could say if anything to her. More constructive answers would be massively appreciated.
