Hi There,
I have a 3 1/2 year old boy, and he is extremely social, and extremely emotional / sensitive. He's super happy most of the time, but super sensitive as well. He has always been highly verbal, and expresses his sadness or anger verbally (thank goodness). He is the kid who cries on Disney/Pixar movies. Tells his father to be nice to everyone. He has high empathy and compassion for babies. he can be anywhere, and will always telling me a baby is crying, and that it needs milk.
I've always had the intention of homeschooling, but thought I should try it just to see what it's like. I first put him in summer camp, and then followed during the fall with preschool at the same school. He has come home from summer camp and now preschool talking about this same boy who gives him a hard time. I mean it's every day he talks of this other boy, and then one day last week his wasn't paying attention on the deck for pickup and they moved him to the other side, and he burst into tears and cried all the way home. His teacher told him to use his words and to stop crying that he;s not a baby???
I see on this board a lot that preschool was great, and then Kindergarten went downhill and changed their kid. I already see a lot of changes, and just want to make sure that i'm doing the right thing.
Anyone with highly emotional / sensitive kids have any advice on how to handle school?
