Dd will be four in June, and at home is a lively, happy, chatty little girl (most of the time!). But at nursery she will not interact with the other children. They will talk to her or try to play with her and she will ignore them. She has been going since August, and after the initial settling in period she did start talking a little bit o the teachers. However since the nursery has got busier, she has stopped talking again. She won't even answer if the ask her a question, eg if they say "Milk or water?" she will point.
At home she plays nicely with her big brother and she has two friends she will also play with, one, who is actually ds' friend, she especially adores.
The nursery teachers are starting to get worried about her lack of interaction. I reassurred them that she does play with and talk to her special friends.
I am just about sure that she is perfectly okay, and it is just her personality, and she will start interacting at nursery in her own time. However occasionally a seed of doubt creeps in my mind. I don't want her to be thought of as the wierd kid - some of hte others already look at her strangly. And it can be upsetting when dropping her off at nursery, seeing the other kids chatting happily to eachother.
If you can reassure me that you have had kids like this, and they have grown out of it, that would be great!
