During the course of that year NOT ONCE would he go to the classroom with the rest of his class (all his age too). EVERY DAY I had to walk him down to his classroom or else he'd scream and cry and carry on.
We are so worried about him. We don't know what we can do.
Our county has a preschool program through the school district. Our son will be old enough this September to attend. But we are worried that he might not be ready for it. Not only that, but he'd have to be out of diapers by then too. We are afraid he won't want to learn, and that he will go kicking and screaming on a daily basis, not wanting to go. He doesn't make friends and shows no interst in it, and we are afraid of how the other kids might treat him.
Our daughter's kindergarten teacher said our son is too immature and should be left behind another year before starting Pre-K. But we are afraid if he DOESN'T go then he WILL fall behind. Now a days most kids go to preschool and/or nursery schools before Kindergarten, so many kids knows letters and even how to write their names. We are afraid by NOT sending him then he will fall behind the other kids, thus creating MORE problems in the long run. It's almost we are "damned if we do, and damned if we don't".
Does ANYONE out there have a child similar to ours? ANY SUGGESTIONS, HELP, ADVICE, DIRECTION would be greatly appreciated.
I cannot go another night in tears worried about our son future. We don't know what else we can do to build his confidence, help him to make friends, encourage him to WANT to be potty trained and to get him to want to learn and explore and such. We are at whits end and don't know what else to do. Plus the constant crying over EVERYTHING has got us totally frazzled, and he's nearly 3 1/2 years old now and for once we'd like to have a FULL NIGHTS SLEEP without his daily waking up crying and screaming that he does EVERY NIGHT without fail.
Please help us...anyone!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
