DS just started in YR and most days he says he doesn't want to go. Apart from a wobble at the start he is fine when he's in (his lovely teacher reassurred me on this). He always tells me he's enjoyed his day and says it was fun. So why does he keep saying he doesn't want to go?! Anybody else's child do this? It's not just saying goodbye that's the problem - he says and does a few things which make me know it goes deeper than that and he absolutely isn't doing it to make me feel guilty, which is the line usually trotted out in such situations :) He can't tell me why he doesn't want to go; he says "I just don't want to." I wonder if children at this age are able to understand the concept of 'but you enjoy it when you get there'?

If he's happy when he's there then why doesn't he want to go?
