[quote=Anonymous]I hope you’re not asking because you suspect this about another kid in your pod and feel like they were supposed to disclose something.

If it’s your kid, how close are you to the other families? If they’re already friends that you’ve spent time with one-on-one, they know and don’t care. If they’re really just classmates and you don’t know the parents, I’d test the waters before committing. Most of my DD’s preK classmates last year had some kind of social skills issues... because they were 4. At 5 and in kindergarten, those kids don’t have noticeable social issues anymore, except for one friend who has 1:1 support during part of the day. If your child is noticeably behind and has social skill issues that cause him or her to interfere with others’ ability to learn (hitting, big tantrums, continuous interruptions, etc), you probably should not seek out a pod. If your child is just more into playing solo or occasionally blurts out answers or interrupts, that’s pretty typical. I’d just say something like “Larlo is more into solo play and is still working out the give-and-take of being in a larger group, but here’s some things we do at home that will help him in the pod.” Also, know that in my kid’s classroom there were lots of weird social things on her class even among the “typical” kids during the first few weeks of hybrid because most of the kids had only been with siblings all summer.
