My little DGS (turned 4 two weeks ago) has just started 'Big School'. He seems OK at the moment and enjoys being there (only been a few days) Today my DD was taken aside and the teacher said to her that he didn't realise that DGS needed a potty to do a poo. They did get a stool step from the nursery toilets to make it more comfortable for him.
My thing is that if schools now only have one intake for little ones, ie September whereas they used to have September and Spring Term (I think) what do they expect. He is the very youngest in the class and although we hold him on the toilet when he 'performs' he still needs assistance to wipe etc. Remember 2 weeks ago he was 3. He is a bright boy and quite tall for his age but is emotionally quite young. He even asked to go back to pre-school because they have his potty there. I do wish they had kept to the twice a year intake. He really needed that extra time. If he had stayed at pre-school he would be with just under twos up to just three. Quite a decision for parents.
