...my son is 6. He has got some slight developmental delay but is doing really well. However, he is not happy at school. He has never been that into it, and there have been bullying issues which I have tried to address, but with little help from the school
Anyway, he told me this morning that he was repeatedly punched in the stomach on thursday playtime (by the same child we have had difficulties with since nursery!) and I am so fed up with it.
Last Oct at parents evening we were told he was "struggling" but not given any advice about how we could help (I did ask!) I went online and have been helping him at home since with good results (we have used an online early reading programme and I am now using the toe by toe teaching method) and he is getting much more confident with his literacy. He enjoys numeracy too.
He will begin "training" for the age 7 SATS soon which I am really not happy about - I dont agree with them at all and am already planning to ask if he cannot do them.
I would LOVE to HE him, BUT;
1.I am not a teacher and have no experience and was planning to restart my own OU degree in feb next year.
2.I have a 1 year old too...how would I manage to HE my older ds1?
3.Would he miss out on all the social interation with his peers? (Some of the children in his class are lovely)
4.Would I get any time away from him?? (Much as I love him!!)
5.I am RUBBISH at maths...how on earth could I teach him? My dh is goos at mahts but obviously I would be the main educator.
6.I know I could take him swimming and he goes to karate 2 x a week for the physical ed side of things, and I love trips!!! but I am worried about the cost also, i.e. text books, workbooks atc
7.Please help!!!!!
