So we were pulled aside by teacher today, and it turns out oldest (yr1) has been hitting other children at school. He has been spoken to, but a bit of probbing has resulted in him saying he's overwhelmed and unhappy. He's also been uncharacteristically clingy as well the last few weeks as well.
I'm devastated at the thought of him being unhappy at school, and that he's acting out as well. I've emailed the teacher to ask for a meeting with her. He does have friends at school and is a social little thing, I think the transition to yr 1 has hit him hard though. He's saying he wants me to come to school with him.
Any advice over what the teacher might suggest? Would they back off the work for him for a bit? Give him more play opportunities? I honestly don't care about results etc, I just want him to be happy.
