Dc is in year 6. Has had a lot of problems. He was at home most of year 5 and the attendance board were involved. Very stressful. He's doing ok at the moment, back at school for now. He has dyslexia and ASD. He has severe anxiety and under Camhs for it. I'm trying to basically think ahead, and I know I can't see in the future but I'm not sure he will cope at secondary school next year. I have registered him and he wants to go which is great.... however I think he will struggle which will mean his mental health deteriorate. (He's had suicidal thoughts) BUT im a LP. I wouldn't be able to work if I ended up having to take him out. I have another younger DC at school also. Their father is not on the scene and both my parents work and I don't have a support network so no one to look after him whilst I was at home. I couldn't leave him alone due to the ASD so that isn't an option! I need to work 16 hours to qualify for working tax credits. I won't be able to get a child minder for him term time only. Even if I could he would hate being around crying babies all day. I was thinking a tutor? But then you don't get ofsted registered tutors do you? (So I can get help toward the cost) any earnings I get won't cover a tutor...... are there any other options?!
