Kid
Thank you very much for the warm welcome back to the LJ!
Maybe my English sounds a bit strange sometimes, that's because I send everything through the online translator and when I do the post-correction I don't really know whether the wording is correct.
Now to today's topic:
Kindergarten, that was a very nice and very stressful time. Dorian came to the nursery (Kinder Krippe in germany) when he was just under 2 years old. Before that, I took him to the store with me.
My customers still miss him.
When he was 3 he started Kindergarten. He learned and experienced a lot there. The educators were always kind to him. Only I as a mother had to endure a lot.
The educators checked everything and woe to me if his fingernails were not sparkling clean.
I have taken that to heart, as a deliberately single mother you have a right to yourself when it comes to child welfare. I didn't want a shadow on what I built myself.
But that was only one thing. It quickly turned out that my little one was a little different. Not particularly smart or stupid.
But different.
An example: when he was around 2 years old, he understood that the light in the refrigerator would come on when you open the door. There was a night light in my parents' kitchen, as soon as it got dark the night light came on.
So he darkened his grandparents' kitchen and diverted the light from the refrigerator so that it turned the night light on or off.
An experiment that I was definitely not interested in when I was 2 years old, not that I can remember.
When he builds houses out of cardboard boxes, they have built-in lights, working blinds, and other extras.
He would like to wire everything up.
In kindergarten he dreamed a lot and was noticeable for his social absence.
I even had to take him to a special clinic to find out whether he had bad hearing or a mental problem.
The conclusion of the doctors there: The boy has above-average hearing, even in the noise channel almost 100%.
That means if it gets too hectic around him he protects himself by blocking out everything around him.
I asked the doctor what that meant and the doctor laughed good-naturedly.
He said Dorian was perfectly fine as he is, only in school there could be problems if he ignored the teachers.
I was then sent with him from occupational therapy to speech therapy and then back to occupational therapy. Dorian had a lot of fun, it was annoying for me.
In summer 2020 finally: school. Juhuuuu
And what should I say? Except for the fact that he still ignores teachers (and classmates) every now and then, everything works great! The teachers haven't quite got used to Dorian's quirks, but they're working on it. LOL
My boy loves math (he doesn't have it from me), plays the keyboard and if it weren't for the corona pandemic, he would swim in the sports club and do gymnastics for youngsters.
He will be 7 years old this Easter Sunday.
