My son(almost 4yrs) is in the reception class. He doesn't respond to teachings at school, doesn't talk or play. This is the exact opposite at home. Plays very well at home, sings and talks about all he's taught in the school. He responds very well to the teachings of his home teacher. His teacher in school is saying he will repeat class 'cos there is nothing to show he's learnt things. What do I do? Teachers, educators and Co, ur help is needed pls.

See an educational psychologist.

Mehn, that your 4 year old is a bad guy.... Watch out for him. I have a little sister like that, our youngest girl. Her teacher used to complain. They pick stuffs up like pro. The teachers only need to put in extra efforts to bring them out. Those kids are wise o... You can even encourage him yourself. When family members, friends and strangers come around, ask him to go greet them if he's shying away. Also ask him to do recitations for you in their presence. If they come with kids ask him to go play with them. Inform him of the teacher's report and impact on him. In fact it's not a threat to tell him he'll repeat. Watch out for your kid... He's set to always top his class in the near future. Smh for peeps who tie their kids especially 2 years upwards to their body in church instead of encouraging and releasing them to the children's church.

At home... Do you allow your son to play around with his peers in your neighbourhood?..

His relationship with the neighbours will go along way to enhance his social life.. If you stay where there are no neighbours around.. Try to bring in ur brothers or sister's children for visitation during weekends....

I used to be like him... But in my case.. I wasn't able to speak English language which was the only means of communication in the school... So I'll find it very difficult to associate with other kids in the school...

You still can't speak English!

Just kidding

you need to check and see if he is being abused by his teachers or class mates in school, that might be the reason why he shuts down at school but if that is not the cause then you might have to get him checked by an education psychologist to see the best way to handle. he does sound like a smart child.

shaiba:


This is the right thing to do and the first step to take. Also note the child's attitude when dropping him off at school. Some schools admit more than they can handle in a class and teachers ( in some cases with only one minder) tend to be a bit impatient with children of this age. Please if the proprietor or proprietress of the school does not do much to help your son's situation kindly change to another as this could affect him as they grow older.

Oh my! When I started reading the topic, this was what I wanted to say, I mean the bolded. Watch the child's attitude once you are close to his school.

Errm, madam shaiba, please I need your help ma, so much please.

Does the girl now communicate well amidst of strangers

She is a lot better now.

I agree with those telling you to change his school and see a psychologist.
First change his school (Maybe he doesn't like the environment & people there)...If that doesn't work,see a psychologist.
Goodluck with that,do let us know if things work out.

I was checking some of my old posts and came across this comment. Bro, you were very correct. I couldn't agree more. He was top of his class for the whole of last session. He just picked up all of a sudden, I mean all of a sudden. He is joy to behold now. Thank you very much.

Wow! This is beautiful and great to hear. He's a bigger boy now. Keep grooming him. He'll really make you proud.
