My DS is 4 and in preschool. He has additional needs - mainly with his speech, he has apraxia of speech, but we think he also has a development delay and there are some medical concerns so he has been in hospital quite a bit.
He is at preschool, he attended their nursery from 1 year old. They've been amazing and he's come on leaps and bounds.
He was off over the summer and back this week. I've noticed a change in his play this weekend- if there's more than 1,person playing with him he will exclude one and push them out, telling them they can't play. This is very unlike him, he is a very kind little boy so he's picked this up from somewhere. I talked to him about it and he became really upset. I'm worried it's preschool and the children don't want to play with him. He can't easily tell people if he has a problem, we can understand him at home but outside home people don't tend to understand him. Would I be jumping the gun if I spoke to nursery about it? If it was his sibling with this problem I would approach it very differently. But because he can't speak up for himself, I feel I should talk to them in case somethings happening and they've not noticed. I also don't want to wade in if there's not a,problem.
