He's nearly 9, he has hated school since the day he started, no obvious reason (ie not bullied, reasonably popular, though not universally loved! sociable etc) He is dyslexic, which does make things hard but he gets help.
Back to school tomorrow, and the black dog has descended on the household. Younger ds2 (who thrives at school) has started to ape him and I am just dreading it. He is moody, tearful, sulky and I am worn out with it. I can't think of anything else to say to make him feel better which I haven't already said before. Anyone else go through this every single holiday?
(And if your child has been pleading to go back to school since August, and is already sitting beaming in their uniform, I really don't want to hear about it please...)
