[quote=Anonymous]I may be misreading your OP, but I am inferring that your child's behavior differs from the norm at his prek. The behaviors you describe sound like possible neurodivergence, like ADHD or autism. In your shoes I might try to have a frank conversation with his teachers about how they think he will do in K and how much he differs from his peers. That could give you a basis to decide if he needs further evaluation. You could also seek a child find screening through the school district, just be aware of the scope of these screenings - they told me my child was "fine" but she was diagnosed with autism privately within a year. The risk of private school is they have no obligation to accommodate differences and their willingness to do so will go down as the child gets older and academic and social expectations increase.
