hello, this is my first post. I am actually a dad but I would rather post on mumsnet than dadsnet as there's more expertise here!
our 4 y/o boy won't tell us anything about what happens at school. is this normal?
his usual response is 'well I can't remember' or 'well I'm not sure' or 'well I don't want to talk about it.'
there's nothing sinister, I know, but if we try to get to the bottom of it, he says that chatting about school means not chatting about other things or playing.
of course he does sometimes drop the odd bit of info into a conversation but we basically have absolutely no idea what he does, when, or who with.
he is otherwise an animated, imaginative and charming conversationalist, so his reticence on school, only 1/2 way through his first year (reception) is disquieting.
please reassure us or confirm that we should be doing something that we haven't thought of...
