After yesterday and my fantastic Ofsted inspection today I am feeling so stressed!!!
The four year old I mind on an evening came last night from nursery with a letter saying he couldnt recognise any colours. I already knew this and have observed on it and this month we are doing lots of colour focus activities. I also have concerns with this little boy that he may be on the autistic spectrum and am currently researching this and getting lots of support from other proffessionals.
The problem I have is the little boys mum. She isnt interested in helping to develop her LO and thinks its schools 'job'. She sees me as a babysitter and doesnt take anything I say regarding his development seriously. When it comes to school and any concerns they make she says they are talking rubbish!! She wont accept that he may be behind with certain things and seems to think he is above average for things. I know this family very well and she just imagines what she wants to be true IYSWIM.
I dont know how i can help this little boy as mum will not accept anything. If he is on the autistic spectrum I want him to get the support he needs but mum wont hear anything of it. I know when he leaves me at half five hes straight home to bed and then on a morning he goes to nursery then straight to me. On a weekend he spends his time watching army programmes and playing shooting games on the Playstation:eek:
Any advice would be great!!!
