Dinosaur mad, 5 year old, its affecting his schooling

[Natd]

size of a 7 year old, but only just turned 5, loves to play dinosaurs, and roar like one with his friends, however, the teachers see this as a problem because he is scaring the shorter children,or little ones,as the teachers like to call them. possible action by school, is to separate him at playtimes. help i don't know how to tackle this one.

Perhaps try to get him to roar very quietly, and reward him for quiet roaring or no roaring. I'm not sure separating him from his friends will help.

I would just have a little chat with him and explain that sometimes the smaller children are scared because he makes such a fantastic big scary dinosaur so he needs to be a bit more careful at school.

but tbh I think the school are overreacting. it's only roaring after all

He sounds adorable Nat. I have a big tall ds so sympathise about how they get treated as if they are older than the 'little' ones!

Perhaps tell him that only baby dinosaurs are allowed at school because the big ones are too scary. My ds loves being a baby dinosaur sometimes, he will lay in bed and make tiny little roars or just talk in a little voice.

Tell him if he is bigger than a baby dino he won't be allowed to run about with his friends in the playground.

Then tell the teachers that you've bought in a baby dinosaur today, can they look after him please as he's only 5 so still a tiny dinosaur and can't make much noise....

see if they give it a go..just a thought!
