DS is 4y2mo. Been in his nursery since he was 1 moved up the rooms etc. He started pre school last January just after turning 3

He hated going in at first meltdowns going in then it settled. Then he had a phase of acting out hitting throwing stuff messing etc had to do thinking spot and now he is really shy. His key person said doesn't speak much to him or other teacher does to kids but is quite shy

Doesn't love attention on him will be chatty with key person 1 to 1

At home he is so different. Loud crazy cheeky funny. Of course this is normal I've had thoughts for a while he may be on the spectrum this has been since he was 2 with his speech delay motor skill delays issues etc. I am on spectrum too

But I feel sad and worried that he's gone shy. Does he not like it anymore ? There's been some slight changes with staff etc. Does he not like this change and he can't communicate rhat? His key person is constant and he does love her.

I donr know just feel worried that he's gone shy and want to help him as school will be another big room and a big change and don't want gim to shut down

My youngest was exactly like this. Very shy, not very good at talking to adults. At home she was my loudest, funniest child.

She is 12 now and is still a bit shy at school, but loads better. She is loud, funny and confident with her friends and at home.

I was like this as a child, came into my own as an adult and fully expect her to do the same.

Ok rhank you ive been panicking because he was acting out there about half a year ago was 'naughty' and has went really shy !

I assume its the change the big room etc

I just felt concerned I ask and he would tell me if something was up I was feel like someone being mean etc. I dont know if its just some changes have unsettled him

My daughter was like this regardless of change. She seems to be a 'shy until I get to know you' kind of a person. And she is also one of the funniest people I know!! She makes me belly laugh every day. Some people just dont find their footing until they're older....it's all good.
