I have a new dck who has been with me for a little over 3 weeks. The child is almost 4 and came from a large center base program.

Parents claim that the school was not working with dck and they wanted a smaller class size with more attentive teachers.

I met with family 3 times and never saw any red flags.

Fast forward to week 1 to present

red flags-
refuse to listen to anything

can not transaction

child is not shy at all and will force themselves on everyone, including teachers

pushes and hurts others but does not care, hit my hand away yesterday.

not potty trained, says I have to pee but then will throw a tantrum if you take them to the bathroom.

repeats things about 9-15 times on average. Example. I asked her can you please use your fork? She repeated that like 10 times. Kind of like a parrot, or echolalia. Does not every try to talk to anyone here, but will answer questions when asked.

lines up all toys no matter what it is. Crayons, pegs, puzzle pieces, babies, etc

sucks thumb, grabs and rubs hair or misbehaves when it gets loud.

zero eye-contact

can not connect with any of the kids

when interacting, the kid will just force self on the other kids.

zero self help skills

So my question is, how long would you wait to talk to the parents about all of this? there are so may red flags I dont know where to even start.

I just feel that it's too soon to approach the parents with this????

Also, I feel like the parents are not telling me all the reasons they moved their child.
