Nursery v Home - conflicting reports

My son is still waiting to be assessed so I understand its somewhat speculative. 

The nursery dont seem to have any concerns with him at the moment. They say he is defiant - which is reflected by his refusal to potty train, something they cant get a breakthrough with either. He refused to leave the toilet area yesterday in protest which is something I deal with daily.

Is it possible for him to be able to cope better at nursery than at home? Or is it a sign that really its something im doing wrong and hes a normal child? They suggested I take parenting courses to help deal with his behaviour at home.  I will look into it I just feel like a failure especially since I have raised my daughter well without issue.

Any advice on similar situations would be appreciated.

  • Thank you so much for your advice, I shall try the tips you've given as I think that will defo help him. 

    Yes the courses are for non autistic children and to be honest it did hurt but I can understand their reasoning. I will read up on all the info on here, and just being able to talk to people in a similar situation is a godsend!
