This is my first post but I’ve been a long time lurker.
Our five year old complains about being tired regularly. He often looks tired and has rings under his eyes.
He sleeps well - usually from 8/8:30 pm until 7/8 am - and is not busy with loads of activities. He’s in Y1 in school, doesn’t go to breakfast club and only goes to afterschool club three days a week. He doesn’t do any activities during the week, only swimming on Sunday afternoons. Our weekends are pretty chilled - easy morning watching telly and playing, lunch out, walk in a park (usually a 2/3 miles walk)
Should he be this tired all the time? Can this just be school? He seems to find school tiring at the moment, but I do suffer from anxiety so I worry that it’s something else? I’ll take him to the doctors if it carries on but just wondering whether this is pretty common?
