My DS started school in September and initially seemed happy but from October onwards it has steadily gone down hill.
I'm at home during the day (working 3 of those) so he only went to nursery 2 sessions a week from Jan-July last year in a small Montesorri which he loved. From that to 6 1/2 hours a day x5 from the first day has knocked him for six.
He's tired and grumpy and I feel he behaves so well at school that by the time he gets home he has nothing left. We have frequent melt downs about everything and this morning I had to carry him to the car and from the car to the play ground, but he's happy enough to go in once there.
He is sensitive and says it's too noisy and busy and he wants to be with me. Academically he's doing well with reading, phonics etc but he's not happy and I just don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do!?
Any advice from mums of summer babies, mums of children who hated school and what you did or teachers who can reassure me? thinking of asking the teacher for a meeting to get some insight.
TIA
