over something the nursery said to me yesterday.
i picked the kids up from nursery and the owner pulled me to one side and said they are having some problems with Rhys.
apparently he isnt listening to instructions properly and wont sit with the other children and do activities (like drawing or listening to a story) he just gets up and wonders off round the room. hes such a sweet quiet person that he just gets away with it. she also said that he isnt sharing toys properly and prefers 'individual play' to playing in a group. she also said he is always following the adults round attempting to talk to them instead of playing with the other children and they are finding it difficult to give him attention one on one.
so ive been asked to 'work on his concentration' she was telling me to sit down with him and get him to colour for 10mins etc.. like i dont do that anyway!? i do TONNES of productive stuff with my children, our routine is very structured and although Rhys doesnt always join in i do TRY
to be honest for me this is just another tick in the box for autism
