DS1 is 5 years old and currently in year 1. He was happy through nursery but as soon as school came along struggled massively. In reception it was hitting and hurting other kids so behaviour was the main issue. He left reception working towards numeracy and literacy levels (I have no idea what these levels are or how it all works). At the time all I cared about was sorting out his behaviour and him being happy as he was obviously struggling.
This has worked and he had a fantastic start to year one. Gone from refusing to open a book to reading at Oxford tree level 3 I think it is. He also started the year really well with his new teacher saying at the end of October that he is not a badly behaved child at all.
So all going well. Then in the fortnight before Xmas he reverted back to his old hitting ways - why we have no idea really. And although he's improved over the Xmas holiday I was doing some work with him and he was finding writing and maths difficult.
So the teacher has requested a meeting for next Monday to "discuss ds's progress". My heart has sank and I feel really down. I know she's going to say he's behind and he's struggling and I want to help him but I just don't know how.
