Q:
My Kindergartener may not be ready for 1st grade
We do homework every night with our son and it takes about an hour. He struggles to comprehend some of the material. He cried the first 3 months of the school year everyday before going to school. It has gotten better but it seems he tries depirately hard to fit in yet he does not like to be around other kids. His anxiety level is very high. Socially he does not interact or talk about any friends. He is a little slower acedemically than the others as well. I have a meeting with the pyschologist, the principal, and the teacher coming up and they don't feel that anything is wrong...this meeting is to determin what direction we should take with him concerning testing...I just don't know how to express my concern or what I should specifically ask for in the meeting.
