Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Our grandson had an interview at a preschool that his parents are hoping he can attend, and yesterday my daughter was worried about how he'd do:  whether he'd cry or be shy.  He aced it!  I would say that proves definitely that he is not in the right preschool now, and the crying when they leave him is not that it's a bad school, but just a bad fit.  I hope he gets in this one, as it's where his mother taught for years, and it's bilingual.  I have felt that something was not right when he kept being miserable at his current school and yesterday when I asked him how his school week went he said, "not so great".  He's three.  But mighty articulate about his feelings.  I feel I have the luxury of really listening to him, whereas his parents are working many hours, too busy, and anxious about him in a way I'm not.  I've been down the road four times as a parent, with my foster granddaughter, with my granddaughter, and with my grandson who is a year older.  Little kids know a lot more than we give them credit for, and they can see the forest for the trees, in astounding ways.
