[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think people are secretly doing this like you and just not talking about it. I really don’t think there are that many people out there. And I’m actually surprised that your son was asking your for a diaper in public as recently as a year ago? His lack of awareness makes me wonder if there is more going on. Have you seen anyone besides your pediatrician? Like a therapist or OT?[/quote]

I think there is a lot going on here. The child should have started K last year, but, has never been in any kind of preschool.  Mother’s Day Out is just drop in babysitting.  The OP says she discussed red shirting with “teachers,” but, he’s doesn’t seem to have had teachers ever.  This kind of seems like a kid who has been 99% home with mom for six years and has been babied. That might be his whole issue and sending him to school and making him rely on himself might fix it. But, he could have other issues that were never flagged because he didn’t attend preschool.  I think OP needs to take him for an evaluation to be on the safe side, sending a non-potty trained child who has basically never been away from mom and might have some sort of issue into public school could be a disaster.  Honestly, he’d also really benefit from some camps or classes or even daycare this summer to prepare him for the school experience.[/quote]
