Does anyone have any advice on how I can reassure my DS of 9 who is about to move up to his middle school (we are 3-tier)?
He is up at night with headaches and stomach cramps, sometimes says he's incredibly nervous and other times says he's really looking forward to it. School starts on Thursday and I'm afraid he will be going to school feeling awful (and tired), which is the last thing I want. I've tried reassuring him that there are 150 other children in the same position as him, plus various other platitudes, but nothing seems to be working.
