My son who is nearly 3.5 is in pre-school . Prior to that goes to childcare setting once or twice a week. He is s very happy boy and well behaved at home. I always get compliments when I take him out .
Story all changed when he entered pre-school this September. I started seeing signs of tantrums and resisting to do things he’s asked to do at home.
Initially when he started, The pre-school consistently reports that he doesn’t sit or want to join in any activity. This is completely opposite when he is at home. He wants to do his own thing. I forgot to mention that he is speech delayed. Been referred to paed , on waiting list. At home he talks more but still not where he should be at his age. There is a history of delayed speech in the family and kids catch up well by the time they are 5-6yrs. But I am concerned it’s impactibg him in school and might be a contributory factor to his recent behaviour st the nursery.
To make matters worse, the pre-school now reports he is pushing kids . I have talked to him about it and hoping he understands . But it’s still happening. I am really breaking down.
He doesn’t push anyone at home (he is the first) and has a little baby brother whom he adores. When I take him to children groups he is very happy and doesn’t push anyone there. I have asked the school how they respond to such behaviour they said he is constantly told to stop.
I don’t know why he chooses to do this in school. I have gotten a private SLT to support us for the time being till we can be seen by NHS.
I am even considering changing him to a private school where there will be less number of kids.
Any advice will be supper helpful. This breaks my heart deeply.
