Friend is SAHM, and has never done antenatal groups, playgroups, classes. Not doing nursery and intends to keep child out of school until 6 years old. Mother is naturally quite introverted. Father is around but has never been left alone with the child (!), changed a nappy etc. Kid is about to be 3.
kid seems fine but very introverted, is very focused on mother and doesn’t like interacting with anyone else. Kid always, always seems grumpy and upset, but maybe that’s just what kids are like at that age? Well looked after apart from that.
there may be not much I can do but I would have thought at least using the free funded hours at nursery would be good for the kid’s development. Should I say something? My friend seems convinced that being looked after at home is the best thing for the kid’s attachment and sense of security.
