I've considered home ed before; when DS was small, then he became bonkers toddler when DD came along and I changed my mind!
Then last year when we moved area at the end of the summer and I struggled to find a reception place for him I considered it again. However TBH by Sept we'd almost come to blows after weeks and weeks of being in a new place without knowing anyone (I don't drive- yet so it was hard to get out and about) and I was relieved when he started school. His behaviour improved dramatically, all fine.
But he just seems... I don't know how to put it. He's a nightmare when he gets in front school as he's either exhausted or he's been cooped up all day and all the mischief comes out. He already has that sort of 'oh no, school today' attitude I'd expect from a teenager but not from a child who's still in reception.
It sounds like he's fallen out with his friend who's a bit of an alpha male (lovely kid but very much 'in charge' of everything they do), and he just never seems excited about anything they do at school. He's fine going in, no upset etc. but then I'm starting to learn that like me, he keeps his cards very close to his chest.
my question is, does this sound familiar to any of you home edders? I'm planning a chat with his teacher but I don't know, my gut is telling me we might need to change.
