preschool question -- kinda long!
My son, Logan, is currently in preschool 2 mornings a week. About a month
into the year, he quit talking to his teacher or to any of the other kids in his class. He will still participate and do the activities, etc but he will not talk at all the entire 2 1/2 hours he is there. He won't even sing the songs when they go to music...but he will sure come home and sing them around the house all day long! I have talked to his teacher about what might have happened to cause him to "shut down" at school...she doesn't know and Logan doesn't say anything negative about school...he loves it and talks great things about his teacher! His teacher just says he must not be ready to express his self and open up to people...he will in his own time. Another thing about Logan (and his preschool teacher has confirmed this), is he is very advanced for being 3 (almost 4). While the other kids are learning their shapes, colors, and letters....he is bored. He has known his alphabet and all that other stuff since he was 2...he can currently spell about 8 words and tell time on a digital clock! My thoughts were, he was just bored at preschool so he has withdrawn. However, while Logan is "book smart", he is just where he needs to be socially. My DH and I have thought about moving him preschools next year to see if a totally new environment will help him begin talking and be outgoing again at school. When I talked to his current preschool teacher about this, she said that she felt this would only make him regress even more. I had to wonder if she was saying this truly out of concern for Logan, or just because she wanted our money at her preschool for next year. So...with all of that said. I wondered if any of you might deal with preschoolers and/or have any of this same experience with your children. I'm at a loss as to what would be best for Logan....move him to a new preschool or keep him at the same one? Also...if we keep him at the same one, would it be beneficial to stay with the same teacher or have a new one for next year? Thanks for reading if you made it this far...and for any advice you might be able to give ) Janette -- Mom to Logan Alexander 2-29-00 and Caleb Benjamin 2-11-02 remove word SPAM to reply |
