I'm hoping to get some perspective because I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into this.
My son has been telling me he doesn't want to go to kindergarten lately. I asked his teacher if anything happened, if another kid was bothering him or if he's having trouble making friends, but he said none of that seems to be the case. One thing he did mention though is that whenever another kid starts crying or the classroom gets really loud, my son covers his ears. I had no idea he was doing that. The teacher said he eventually goes back to whatever he was doing once it gets quieter. but he's a really outgoing kid. He'll talk to anyone. He loves playing and being silly. He's definitely not the quiet kid so I don't think it's social anxiety or anything like that. The only thing I can think of is he's never really been around a bunch of kids his own age. Before school it was mostly me, his dad, and his two older sisters. Has anyone had a kid like this? Did they just get used to it after a while? I feel bad because I don't want to brush it off but I also don't want to make it into something bigger than it is.
