Hi there,
For some reason,I have to send my DS to preschool.
He is 25mo. He's shy and clingy. He follows me even I just want a drink in the kitchen! He never plays with himself for over 15mins...
The most important is he has little interest in other people and toys. His favorite entertainment is to play hide and seek with us, or play "acting taking a bus game" with us. He doesn't like crayons, cars, balls or blocks which seem to attract huge amt of kids.
Last week I took him to the trial of one preschool. He didn't communicate with any teacher or kid,he even didn't look at them. Although he was sometimes noisy cause he wanted to get out. But I tried my best to keep him there. But his all attention was on me. He looked nervous when the kids having assemble dance. He pay no attention to the teacher reading story or the kids playing trains or they drawing. He just requested me to play "acting taking a bus game" whatever other kids are playing. It just seemed strange to the other kids and sometimes make me awkward.
But what I care most is for a kid like my DS, will putting him to preschool cause any kind of mental trouble that have bad effects? The headmaster told me it was just because my DS used to have less contact with other people,which his preschool can just offer. And he said my DS will sure cry a lot at the first period,but it will be ok.
But is it really ok to put him there,cause I think it will take really long time before DS can fully establish communication with people there.
