[quote=Anonymous]OP, can you volunteer to help at recess and/or lunch? I do that at DS' school (MCPS) and I'm amazed at the student/adult ratio--about 225 kids (K-1) to 4-5 adults, spread out over a large field, a black-top, and a playground. Things happen at recess. Not necessarily bad or good, but I think kids at this age are finding where they "fit" socially. You might learn from just observing. Also, I found with my DS that I direct question is frequently answered with a one-word answer. But if I do an activity with him, just the two of us, he will naturally share things that are on his mind. I also lie down with him a night for a bit after bedtime stories. Frequently he gets thoughtful at night and shares more details of his day with me. Sometimes I'll ask an open-ended question or mention the name of one of his classmates and see where it goes. Other times I'll just sit there quietly and see what he wants to discuss. I hope this passes quickly. [/quote]
