My son doesn't like his new teacher and friends

Please don't try to force your son into being an overnight extrovert or something like that. Let him be himself. Don't try to bend him against his own nature. Things will work out! I'm sure he'll open up soon.

that is an initial reaction of a child during first few weeks to month in school. separation anxiety dominates, you should always reassure that you are there even if he is inside the class.

I think your son is shy and he would benefit from playing with a small group of his class. Then he could get to know each of those children. The number of children in his class seams to overwhelm him greatly. If he got to know five children at one time this would gain his level of confidence. In time I hope your son will like his teacher. Perhaps you could tell the teacher your son's favorite activities. My teenage son at 4 years old didn't like Art but then a couple of years later he got highly skilled in it. He didn't like going to his child minder but he was happy at nursery school. Good luck.

i yspml he needs to be around neighborhood children to get used to'playing with other children.arrange some play dates with children of your friends and let him get with other children, this will help him to like kindergarten if hes not shy and afraid anymore.

Hello!I also met you such cases.My son changed new teacher,he didn't like,so unhappy.I know,I told him that first believe in yourself,do yourself,don't care about the teacher to see in you,next,situation will change.Sure enough,two months later,my son feels that the teacher originally is also very good teacher.Hope this revelation to you.

That's too bad. I hope that he will be able to adjust as time goes on and that's only possible if he still wants to go there. New environment and new people sometimes frighten our kids but I think you need to talk to him and tell him all the advantages of having new friends and learning at the same time. I have never experienced this with my son when he first went to school at the age of 2. Before the class started we went to that kindergarten and I let him get himself familiarize in the classroom. When he saw the toys he was happy and then I asked him if he's interested in going there since he was very young. To my surprise he told me he really wanted to go and from then on he never missed a single class day. In fact even when he was sick he still insisted on going. My son is now 7 and he still has the same attitude with going to school.

I feel bad for your son. Most teachers would respond to such behaviour by being more engaging and paying more attention to the shy ones...I sure hope your son's teacher is trained to deal with such a situation. I teach kids as well and most of them get out of their shell after a while...one invitation from a classmate for a game is sometimes all it takes. How about trying to befriend your kid's classmates yourself then later on maybe you can arrange playdates for the kids with the other parents? Hope everything works out for your son.
