Curious for those that have experience with this - how early is too early to be concerned? Our son is almost 3 and seems to be having some major issues with pre-school that he started this fall. He'll hide under a table for 5-10 minutes at the start of each day until the teachers coax him out. On non-school days he actively asks about having to go to school and gets pretty upset thinking about it. We were thinking this is more than just normal separation anxiety type stuff, but don't want to go overboard if he's just adjusting slower than other kids (an "excuse" I'm using is he's one of the youngest kids there, so maybe that is a factor?)
For those that found out about mental issues with their kids, how early was it diagnosed? We've heard early intervention is important so we obviously want to identify any potential problems as soon as we can. I still think we might be a little alarmist at this point though and don't want to jump to conclusions.
