Would love some help and advice ...DS has been given a secondary place at our local school and will receive free transport which means he can be independent. But all his friends are going to a different school. He is really struggling with this - tears, tantrums and saying he will refuse to go to school etc etc. For him it feels like the end of the world.
The school where his friends are going does have space but there is no public transport which would mean we would have to drive him to and from school (20 mins) and pick up time is a problem ... but we can probably just do it. So my question is do we move him? How important is the confidence that friends and happiness will bring? My heart says move him and my head says it will all work out if we stay with what we have. What do I do?
