My 5 year old son came back from reception today and told his mum that no one wants to play with him. My wife (his mum) asked him why and he response was that they’re scared of him.
It’s quite upsetting for all of us. He has had speech and language problems diagnosed from the age of about 3. We’ve gone through the normal procedures and he has had therapy however his progression has always been quite slow. He is very emotional. He cries at the smallest thing and can have outbursts where he shouts if his little brother happens to interrupt his play or does something that annoys him. I’m wondering whether this behaviour is the reason other kids are scared of him.
He’s a lovely boy but I think because of the speech delay he may be having trouble integrating with the class. I’m not sure if he may have just had a bad day because he has two friends and whenever I’ve seen him with them they get on like a house on fire.
Has anyone had any experience similar to this? I’d be grateful for any feedback or advice.
