DS (3.5 yrs) started preschool exactly a week ago (every morning until 11.30) and loves it. However his teacher this morning mentioned to me that he does have much of an attention span and won't sit at anything for long- or she asks him to do something and he gets distracted by something else before finishing what she asked him.
She asked me if he was like this at home and honestly I hadn't thought he had a particularly short attention span, he'll sit drawing/painting/reading/playdough with me for at least half hr at a go, usually in the afternoons, quite happily (and will "read" on his own off his own initiative too). But I do know when he's surrounded by loads of new toys etc. he flits between them constantly and can't sit still! He is a very active child but I thought most boys of his age are...and mornings is usually when we head out for a walk etc. to give him a chance to burn off some of his energy...(which he can't do so well at preschool).
He's not used to being in a nursery environment so I wonder if it's the novelty of it all that's distracting him or should I start trying to work harder on his concentration span... (part of me thinks he's only 3 ffs!!!)
Advice please!!
