Mamatukwas: will a 7year old boy in primary 4 class in Nigeria be placed according to how he has been schooling here or he will be returned to lower class based on age? 1 Like |

I have been in the UK for 6 months now, my children have started school and its all fun they have been learning new things. A few advise for those coming with the family: 1) Once you come register with a GP. 2) Report yourself to the council they will advise you on schools nearby. 3) Look for a local white church, here in Scotland I attached the family to salvation army. They come every week to see that all is well, Christianity here is different from Nigeria. 4) Learn not to shout for your children, neighbors reported me and my wife that we are always shouting for the kids and police came to question the family. Always put fear on them that if they tell strangers that dad and mum beat them they will take them away Its been an experience 34 Likes 9 Shares |

Akorkor: I can speak to what the situation was with a relation's child in England. The child had speech delay and he (for some reason it mainly seems to be male children?) was assessed by a HV and referred for speech therapy. There was (and that seems to also be somewhat common) a very long waiting list for the council service and at some point my cousin made queries and was told that she could explore the private option if she wished. Prices were very high, but she paid for an assessment and got a twice-weekly hourly slot for which I think she was paying in the region of 150 or so (I'm not very sure). They were able to cover the costs (her husband is a doctor) and this was a while ago when exchange rates were still manageable. I don't know if the council later reimbursed her. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Endlessgrace: I agree. It’s not easy but it can be done. I’m practicing not shouting unless absolutely necessary. The most I do now is pull their ears and they hate it. No more beating oh. If you shout at my son now, he will say you’re scaring him Na wa! 9 Likes 1 Share |

Mamatukwas: Yes, we all need to unlearn and relearn this shouting issue. My 2 year old is quick to say "mummy you shout on me" even when it's ot "shouting" he would rather you spoke to him in a calm way. And surprisingly, it works. The noise in naija sef won't allow us talk normal. � 16 Likes |

cdieli: Personally, if you can afford it. Avoid flats if you have small kids. Neighbours can be nosy + kids can be very noisy. So if you get bad neighbors it will be a constant tug of war. Thank God you guys escaped without issue. There’s a current case now trending in Sheffield where social workers have taken away a couples 2 kids and there’s the threat that her unborn child will be taken too! Have you guys heard about it? The story is too long but so sad. 5 Likes 1 Share |

TheGuyFromHR: Speaking from personal experience, most times speech delay is an underlying indicator to ASD or other social communication disorders. The earlier one gets a diagnosis, the better and quicker things fall in place. I’ll advise the parent to get the child into school or nursery asap so that necessary referral could be made and the child could be put on waiting list for therapy, although its a very long waiting but you’ll get necessary support while on the waiting list. Going private is not cheap and I remember being quoted £1600 just for assessment. Note that your GP can also do the referral but it’s quicker when it’s from an educational setting. 3 Likes |
