bloody daycare

arrggghhhhhh i went to james teachers at daycare as i was worried about him not talking aswell as outher kids his age. they agreed they would get in a teacher to obsever him and see if he would need xtra help with talking. they write a letter to the education department for a referl in the letter they have put that he donst talk much still uses baby laungue ect ect. and then they put he does not use emotions hes donst cry when hurt or let them pick him up,and donst smile,laugh ect ect. now i have told him yse he does use emotions he does laugh,cry ect ect. but they are conveced there is something wrong with him and all this is because if he hurts himself he wont always let them cuddle him or he will just get up rub the sore bit and walk away. i dont think there is anything wrong with him exect maybe his lack of talking but the teachers are insestent there is something wrong. arrgghhh i dont know what to think this is tearing me up inside. if he hurts himself at home he will just pick himself up and keep going or if relly hurt will come for a cuddle.   arrgghh ok this is just a big vent

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think what they are doing is trying to make a sob story, so that they can get a good referral. You know your kid better than they do, so...relax.

Andrew is the same, he can hurt himself at preschool and not cry or tell anyone he has hurt himself. I hope they don't think that Lu.

hehe gandt my mum agrees with you

Taine will usually not cry even when he hurts himself - and there is blood! Yet will scfream at the rooster on Baby Einstein. James sounds fine Lu. You msut be really frustrated - yell away.

i always make sure i talk to everyone at DC morning and night and spend about 5-15 mins there for each pick up / drop off where i can. DH on other hand walks in gets bag, thanks them and leaves.....just as an example as to why sometimes they dont mention stuff....DH gets little to no info out of them cause he doesnt ask or build that rapport with them....I do and get heaps from them about what Ella is up to etc....

are you able to maybe spend a little more time there and see if things are happening differently, or turn up unexpectedly and watch through the glass etc? We can turn up whenever and see the kids and what is going on...I caught Ella being a drama queen thru the glass the other day - fell forward from sitting, looked around, grissled and demanded attention and yet stopped crying instant someone came to her even tho they didnt pick her up etc....maybe at DC he knows that he doesnt get pandered to if he hurts himself anyways and so gets on with it - to me that sounds like an awesome kid!!!

I also agree that the over the top referral may be them knowing what they will need to put to get funding approval which can be difficult to get!
