- are you asking this question because you are concerned he doesn't show what he knows or because you are worried the environment is wrong. I had my ds in a preschool which over the course of the year went from great to wholly inappropriate due to his exponential change in LOG. We were limited in options both to get him somewhere else and to get the teachers to understand. I was slow to understand because DS was relatively silent such when he finally shared how the kids were treating him it was a shock and turned out to be very difficult to undo.
You sent him there for socialization, maybe you need to ask questions about that. Are the kids playing with him, do they understand what he is saying, are they interesting to play with.For my DS the answer to those q's was all no - the teachers solutions to it was to think DS needed to modify his behavior and to some extent who he was - it wasn't until we got to camp this summer at another preschool that we realized he could have been helped in a much more substantive way which built up his self esteem rather than damaged it.
I guess I'm asking because he doesn't show what he knows when
specifically asked. But I suppose that concern is magnified because this is the first school environment I have had him in (no daycare, etc.), and I have no idea if it's going to be right for him.
Your suggestion to ask him about how his day
playing went is so obvious, I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it. I will do that!
Thanks~
