Don't worry! I think Alan will easy to adapt his school life & should be enjoy it very soon. As I saw from his pic, he is very smart boy. Also your handsome boy will be attracted alot of fans, just headache for choose which one he would like to play with him/her first, heehee.
Besides, I think he has quite good social skill as he has a elder sister accompany him. Liam is no brother/sister right now, so I will also afraid he scare when he goes to school later. Therefore, I always take him goes to park to let him close to other kids.
I fully understand your feeling & how exhausted to do a full time mum job. Time flies, I did a full time mum already 2.5mths, but still feel very exhausted as everyday like a "war". My son always very close to me, cant give me take a break to breath. He will take a nap twice a day, but only half hour every time, "thank you very much":cry: . He is 14mths now, sometimes I will put him into safety corner to play by himself. Now he can walk free hands a few steps, moreover, he likes to catch somethings such as DVD, TV, video player or some danger things. Therefore, I have to watch him almost every mins seems a security guard! I also feel very boring special I have no friend in UK.
I think I can only take closer look on him rather than pushing him to speak. He will learn to speak naturally, sooner or later....
Now Alan is playing with his sister crazily every day.
You don't need to worry about Liam's social skill because he will soon establish at playgroup or school. But you should be prepared that child at less than 2 years old likes to play alone rather than play together with other children. This is what I observed from different children at different playgroups.
Really! I thought most children like to play together with other children. I think not many kids like to play alone as they always need someone to accompany or play with them. So do you mean you've seen kids at playgroups who like to play by themselves?
We're not easy to be good parents, but I believe it will be awarding later.
As my Alan goes to those playgroup required to have parent/adult accompanying with the kid to the class, most of the kids will stick to their parent/maid rather than playing with other kids. But certainly I hope Alan could learn to play with other kids.
In the playgroup, the teacher do encourage the children to do the work together with other kids. e.g. tidy up the toys and share the toys with other...
Thanks for your advise! I just knew from my friend, most of kids can start go to play school from 18mths, so I have to check which one is good in London. I moved here only 2 & half mth, and no friends & relatives are there. Actually, I dont know where can I ask for this information! :evil: I'll try to ask our health visitor I think they should be know but may not be tell me which one is best. Also I'll ask my hubby to check with his colleagues too, hope can get some idea soon.
I dont have any good advise to you, but I think every kids are unique. No one understand him more than you. I believe your son will enjoy his school life once he gets some interesting things & friends. Dont remember for his age, they like to play all the time! Explain more to him, I guess he will understand or try to alanchoi's method let him to know more about his school!
I guess your daughter feels sometimes frustrate if she cannot do what she wants. Have you tried to comfort her or explain how to do things? If she is naughty for no reason, I would suggest to punish her. For example, I put my son in his playpen & let him calm down. But I tell him why he is being punished so he can learn.
Thanks for your reply. I did punish her after my explaination doesn't work. Perhaps she is a such a stubborn girl that she won't give up until I give up first. Right now, I just punish her (
