yeah some kids like to have time to themselves instead of playing with others. a good daycare will not worry, bad daycare says the child is anti-social.

I went to a parent teacher meeting when my son was in grade 1 or 2. I though he was doing well academically and mixing well with the other kids til this meeting. The teacher told me how my son would stand and watch all the other kids in the playground play but not join in. I was broken hearted, he has no friends I cried. I hated sending him to school after that, thinking if him alone at recess and lunch. But he grew into a wonderful young man, I can’t be prouder. My advice, don’t stress too much about childhood angsts, most are phases

  Its so true – I can never understand why young children are expected to develop at exactly the same rate and in the same way – “milestones” and School reports that grade social and emotional development are on many levels fundamentally flawed. Image if the game was done to adults!!

Yes, too many people assume that difference is bad… It’s not always.

Every child is unique and individual and glad your child is thriving.

I’m so glad that all worked out for your daughter
