[quote=Anonymous]My dd was exactly like that. She is 8 now and has grown out of many of her anxieties (without therapy) and does not have a diagnosis of any kind. She's just one of those really bright, really sensitive kids. We started her in preschool at 2.5 for the same reasons you did, and it was a HARD year. She cried a lot. Hindsight is usually 20/20, but I honestly don't know if starting her a year later would have made a difference. I do know that we are the type to push our kids a little bit, to make them face uncomfortable feelings in safe situations. The best teachers she has had so far are the ones who are organized and demand a lot on their students, but also calm and fair. Too loose of a teacher and she felt scared in the class, for lack of rules for the other kids. Too strict/cold of a teacher and she felt extremely uncomfortable. If you can, I would observe a class for 30-45 minutes to get a feel of a teacher. 5 minutes is not enough. [/quote]
