Answer:
•Encouraging Ahmed to talk about what’s making him worrying at the new class room and try a best solution to get him settle with his new environment without any stress and anxiety.

•Advised Ahmed’s parents to encourage him to talk about good things happen at the school and let him explain his day also.

Yes, you're on the right track with your response!

Instead of putting Ahmed into the preschool room straight away it should be done gradually. First he should have a few "plays" during the day with the preschoolers, then sit with them for morning tea etc. Once Ahmed is comfortable he can then be transitioned across. The preschool teacher should also have some one on one time with Ahmed to get to know him as well as his family before transitioning across...

Hope this helps,
