My daughter started reception this year. She's trilingual and chose not to speak English at home at all even though my husband and use English between ourselves. We had assessment done by speech therapist when she was 2.5 yo because the nursery was worried. The therapist reassured us nothing to worry about and that she'll catch up. She is catching up now at reception and happily learning English although still behind her peers. She is very outgoing and approaches everyone to chat and play. She's no problem with finding kids to play with outside the school, at holiday camp but she struggles at school. I've seen over and over again her approaching other kids at school and being rejected verbally, not included in play and left aside. We talked to school few times and they said she needs to work on developing her social skills.
My daughter asked me when she can go back to preschool because she misses her friends. I was heartbroken and told her small children go to preschool. And then she asked when she will be small again.
I'm constantly worried about school situation because I see her outside school and even though sometimes she might struggle with English, she's capable of making friends.
I also feel like I'm crazy constantly raising issues with school. They seem to listen to our worries and try to be helpful but I don't see any improvement. I was even considering changing schools but there's no guarantee it will be different.
