My daughter is 2 1/2 yrs. now. She is very active,emotional highly short tempered and very social. at this age she know nos till 20 both in english and hindi, many rhymes and all the alphabets. She sounded interested to go to the school so I got her into a play school but after 3-4 days she refuses to go. I have in-laws at home. she finds rescue in them. I don't know how to handle it. according to her caliber to learn things fast I want to give her more activities to learn but with this incident I am dissapointed.

She is smart enough that she doesn't need to go to play school. However, she probably needs to be in the company of children her own age at least one or two days a week. Spending all her time with adults may hamper her ability to make friends when she goes to school later on. Maybe you can make a deal with her, that if she goes to preschool one day a week she'll get to be with your in laws one day a week.

My son will be 2 and a half in September and he will be starting at playgroup then as he is ready for it,he likes playing with other children his own age,is fully potty trained(in cotton pants now)and has a good vocabulary.
Its only for 2 and a half hours a day and I will be sending him for 2 mornings a week.
I am not sure if he complain about going but I would not change my mind and stop sending him if he did...they just need time to settle in-if they cry when you drop them off it only lasts 5 mins at the most,so just say goodbye quickly and get out that door-the staff would call you if your child was truely distressed throughout the whole session-talk to the play leader and ask her opinion.
I used to work as a nursery nurse in a local playgroup and have great faith in those that work there.
You are the parent so make your desicion and then stand by it-children learn most by having a consistant parent-not one that will give in to them,good luck!

You're the parent, not the in-laws, and definitely not your child. You're qualified to make this decision, so make it. If you want her to go and feel it's important for her development and growth, then persist. On the other hand, if you feel she's not ready and her refusal to go is a sign of that, then let her stay home another year. Studies have shown that a child who has had the good education yours has had thus far, is going to benefit most in the social area, but you can compensate for that by offering her play dates in your own home, and in the homes of others. She is only 2 and a half. There is plenty of time to go to preschool next year, should this be your decision.

properly, my youngest has been invited to play dates and such and commonly that's mum and dad i have already commonly used or see around the college. i do not understand them *extremely* properly yet regardless of the indisputable fact that i don't sense that i understand absolutely everyone that properly. there have been circumstances that i have went to %. her up from college and her and a chum are begging to party *acceptable this second!* and she or he's hopped off into yet another mum and dad automobile with a short change of cellular telephone numbers from us moms. My eldest- i understand her perfect friends mom ok. If she will a sleepover, that's frequently there. She has made such multiple new friends in middle college, although, that i won't be able to stay alongside of each and each and every of the mum and dad. i will get bashed for this regardless of the indisputable fact that that's come to the point the position that is a short 10 minutes meet head to head and a 20 minute telephone call and that is all i understand thoroughly of many of the mum and dad. I do ask the different moms "Oh, my daughter is staying is sarah's, did you recognize her mum and dad?" and that i'm getting the low down that way. that is a small city and all of us knows all of us (cept me- i'm a hermit) yet i will continually ask round with moms that i understand . so a procedures my children have picked strong friends with strong households to loaf round with (with a small exception of youngsters i'd not enable them to bypass over to their properties).

She's more than ready to go. She just needs to get used to it. Drop her off for a couple of hours first, and tell her "Mommy will be back soon" then after a few hours, come pick her up. Keep doing that for a few days, and then start extending the length of time you're away. She'll learn that you'll come back to get her, and that she has fun! Good luck!

Why does she have to go to play school? Seperation anxiety can very difficult on a child. Enjoy having her home while you can. If she wants to be with your inlaws let her. Kids need to be nurtured and loved as much as learning their abc's & so on. Sounds like you are doing a very good job at teaching her things so I wouldn't make her go. Best of luck & God bless.

Plse put her to school.....these exposures are very important. But do "explain" to her as much as you can , what its all about. I had twin boys and i put them to preschool as young as 2.5yrs. Yes, the clinged and cringed and cried but got over it in matter of days. Maybe you shd check on the teacher herself and make your judgement --- the right caregiver and teacher approach is very important. At this age, they just need to be exposed ... not so much to learn any thing.....mix around and be happy .

the best bet is to do it yourself. i use park districts and libraries alot. studies show it's better for the child to put off the "formal" education til 8-10 yrs old. take the active roll in your childs education. there are support groups where you can "swap" skills with other parents. i teach outdoor activities to some other's children, their parents teach my children spanish.

both of my children attended preschool at the age of 3 and it did them good they learned different things, and it got them away from the grown ups for awhile it does them good to get around children thier own age and she will learn alot more from kids her age trust me it was tuff seeing them go but it is worth it..
