When my son, 3, is on the park playground, other recreational settings, or even the shopping mal he enthusiastically joins other kids at play, often initiating it himself, and even wins over more surly kids. At pre-school he just wants to play with toys or with an indoor sandbox full of gizmos that spin when sand is poured into them, and rarely joins with other kids at play and almost never participates at circle time that involves reading stories, singing songs, and dancing. He loves reading books and music and dancing at home, and even enthusiastically danced with other kids to music at a kids music concert. One thing I've noticed is other parents and even strangers seem delighted with my son, but educators all seem to react negatively to him, right from the get-go. Not sure what to make of it. I sure don't want him to get into the dangerous crosshairs of the system as he gets older.
