I'm worrying about these issues a little with Hanni, who starts preschool next week. In our favor, she likes kids of all ages and stages. One of her friends is a few months younger and developmentally quite behind her, and she adores her.
It may be different, though, if it's nine other kids who are behind her, and group activities and teacher expectations geared to that level. I worry about the teachers talking down to her, like Grinity describes.
Just trying to breathe, and wait and see. Another point in our favor is that she is at the very youngest end of the range for that room, so there may be a few kids who can give her a run for her money! I'm hoping for at least one kid as verbal as she is.
So interesting to hear what others are dealing with!
