Details of the residential have been sent out and a deposit is due next week. The deposit is non-refundable.
I have a very anxious child who never wants to stay away from home. He gets anxious at bedtime to the point of needing hundreds of cuddles before he will rest for sleep. He is a real homebody who doesn’t want to go on holiday even with us.
I’ve spoken to the school about what to do about the residential. I was told that nobody has ever missed it, and to just tell him he is going and that’s it.
I know he will be in floods of tears every day if he goes and really unhappy. They’re also not allowed to call parents if distressed.
In addition most of the activities involve heights. He hates heights. It’s all zip lines/ abseiling, that sort of thing.
I don’t know what to do.
