Got talking to a mum at school today. She has a preschooler, and she apologised that he wasn't being friendly to my dd. I wasn't paying attention so I hadn't noticed but she was obviously conscious about it.

Anyway, she kept talking, and there were lots of little signs I recognised-speech delay, had to take him out of playgroup because staff couldn't handle him, rude/aggressive to strangers. Oh and he kept coming over to play with the wheels on my pushchair.

Doesn't sound so much on here. But later on I was watching him and it just all seemed to fit.

I don't want to upset her, and of course I may be wrong, but if he does need some support obviously I would like to be of help in pointing her in the right direction.

Any advice on how to go about it? I have only spoken to her once or twice. Our older dcs are at the same school, and her youngest has just started same nursery as mine.

He's such a sweet little thing! From what she said he's obvioulsy struggling with a lot of things Sad
