My DS started nursery when he was 5 months old and was outgoing and happy until he turned two and had to move to the older group in the nursery.
Since then his personality has changed. I cannot tell whether it is just the usual development phase or less attention from staff due to higher children/staff ration in over 2s or any other reasons. DS is already 3 years and 3 months old but he is still very clingy, anxious around new children and adults, would not engage with children he does not know.
Now and then DS keeps mentioning that a nursery staff called him shy. I am he got good imagination and can invent this. Just curious if it is appropriate for nursery staff to call a child "shy". I do not want DS to be labeled and to become shy for the rest of his life.
