he is very aggressive at home and is always talking. At school he has had 2 "accidents". He tells me he likes school, but he won't talk and I am concerned. This is his 2nd yr in school.

He may just be shy. I didn't talk much at school when I was a kid, but I talked non-stop at home. In my case, I was afraid of saying the wrong thing and making a fool of myself in front of the class.
I would just keep reinforcing the fact that he can talk to you about anything that might be going on at school, but I wouldn't be too pushy about it. Also, have you discussed your concerns with his teacher?

He spent a whole year in school without talking....? he doesn't have friends in his class or participate with the teacher? he may finds some troubles dealing with others you must ask a specialist because he is very aggressive at home also which is the opposite of his attitude in the school.

3 1/2 year old cant really tell you how he/she feels. Their emotional and language and thinking skills are so not developed. I'd say he's traumatized somewhat by being around a bunch of kids, grownups he doesnt really want to be with...that could just be his personality. Not ready for all that 'school'. Kids shouldnt be in school at that age, they need individual attention. I wouldnt worry so much that he doesnt talk...that's a symptom of something much deeper if he's normally talkative. Maybe you should hire an in-home caretaker, family member if your child cant be with you. I feel so sad for your baby and your situation.

Maybe he has selective mutism. It's a condition that makes young children unable to speak under even the slightest stress, like speaking in front of classmates. Talk to his teachers and see if you can take him to a child psychologist to learn more about why he won't talk in school. Don't get angry at him for not speaking, as it is obviously not his fault. Try talking to him calmly and try asking him why he won't speak. He may be very anxious, and if he is, then maybe you could try to work things out with his teacher. Or try a smaller nursery school, where there would be less kids. As for the accidents, it happens to the best of young kids.
Good luck and I hope everything works out!

I wouldn't worry about the accidents. he's only 3. accidents happen...
as for the talking.. he may be shy around others... if he has been there for 2 yrs and the behavior hasn't has been consistent, but he is not complaining school, kids, teahcers or giving you any clues when you question him, then it may be just how he is...

My brother was like that. He was later diagnosed with something called "Selective Mutism". Psychologically his brain chosses who he wants to speak with. We all thought he would grow out of it but he didn't. He just graduated High School and he is doing fine. He talks to all the members of our Family (an talks a lot when no one else is around) but to no one else. Maybe this could be the case with him??? You should check it out.

I think your son might be shy and i think if i were you i would either take him out with friends or invite his friends over for a sleep over for him to get use to being around people.

Maybe he's shy, or maybe he's two agressive at school and no one talks to him. I suggest to contact his teacher to get some answers.

my brother is exactly the same as your son. your son probably doesnt talk at all at school because he doesn't have any friends.
