Ds is 4.5 and due to go to school after Summer. Hes been at the same nursery since he was 3. It's the nursery attached to the primary school he will attend. In his first year he went for 3 hours in the morning 5 days a week. Since August he has went 5 full days a week.
His behaviour is awful. He is so excited to go and talks about all his friends etc but at least 3 times a week I am greeted with the teacher saying he's not had a good enough, he's hit someone (teacher or friend) argues with the teacher, knocks down people's towers and generally can be quite angry.
On the other hand all the teachers agree that he has a huge kind heart and can be so friendly and loving and caring etc. If someone is crying or hurt he will go to help and he helps the younger ones with things. His behaviour isn't like this all day every day and he has sweet moments but when its bad, it's really. Im so nervous picking him up every day.
When asked he says he's angry/tired/not feeling well. We talk about feelings all the time and what is acceptable behaviour and what isnt. He's mostly not like this at home (athough can have an incident occasionally with his older brother). Me and dh dont argue or fight or anything so he doesnt see this behaviour. I spend as much 121 time with him as I can but do have 2 other children.
He says he doesnt want to go back to nursery and im not sure what to do. Theres only a few weeks left til easter break then it will be Summer then its school. What can i do?
He is under a consultant for ENT issues - repeat ear issues/constsnt cough and runny nose and we are having a watchful waiting period until June when if symptoms are still an issue, the doctor is going to put grommets in and remove his adenoids.
He gets enough sleep although is an early waker. He sometimes wakes in the night but only to cough/have a drink and generally sleeps from 8ish until at least 6 sometimes later.
Does anyone have any advice? I just want to take him out of the nursery but feel that will make the situation worse.
