Refusing to go into school

WilliamsMummy

Hi all, 

My son (4) is refusing to go into pre-school at the moment. He keeps telling me he his sad there but wont tell the teacher this. Ive tried to discuss this with his teachers but they tell me they see nothing. They think he is happy and everything is okay.

BUT

If it was okay then it wouldnt have taken me an hour and a half to get him dressed, ending with him being late. 

He has no IEP. NOTHING!

The school isnt being very helpful. 

The SENCO has been to observe him but again saw no issues. 

My son will NOT tell people when he is sad. 

Anyone been through something similar?

Should I get the SENCO involved?

Thanks in advance

  • Its so frustrating isnt it? 

    I stayed and watched William in pre-school for 15 minutes this morning. 

    He was playing with the interactive white board and other children came over. William took no notice and continued to play and wouldnt let anyone else push the answer buttons. The teacher pointed out the good playing he was doing! playing! its laughable, he wasnt playing at all. 

    He also shouted at a student teacher for doing a job he usually does in the morning and had to be reminded of how to say it nicely, to which he said NO!

    AND, he needed constant reminding to stay on task when writing his name on his whiteboard this morning

    .and they say he needs no help at all. 

    I think I will be putting in a statement. William has his CAMHS appointment middle of Feb so hopefully i can get them on board.

    Thanks for the advice :)
