Joanna Fortune: My grandson doesn't talk to adults in daycare  

"Just because he doesn’t get upset or cry going into daycare doesn’t mean that he may not be holding some worry or anxiety about separating from his parents."

'It would be worth it for his parents to connect with his care team to see how they experience him and observe and understand his behaviour and interactions with others.' Picture: iStock

My grandson is in daycare in Australia. He never speaks to the adults or answers them when asked a question. His friends usually answer for him. He doesn’t get upset or cry when going to daycare. When he’s at home, he’s a bright, happy boy. What would you suggest?

It must be difficult to be worried about a family member, particularly when you are living so far away. You don’t mention how old your grandson is, but I am guessing he is a toddler, as you only mention daycare.
