There are only 11 pupils in ds year. It's a small village school, only 50 odd in the school as a whole.
The village is small so everyone knows eachother, 4 out of the 11 live on the same road!
Most of the children in ds class I have interacted with, they have been to my house I have socialised with their parents. I also volunteer for reading sessions at the school.
I have an idea of how most of the kids in ds school are doing academically. I know that ds is one of the lower achievers in the class.
In my head I am stressed because ds isn't up to the same standard. I need to overcome this as it's driving me mental.
I get frustrated & stressed when he lacks any enthusiasm to do his reading or maths at home because I am imagining all the orher kids in his class reading fluently and keenly to their parents.
Rationally I know they all develop at their own pace and I certainly don't want to push ds and make him resent learning. I want him to have fun, learn whilst playing and doing his own thing but I'm feeling the pressure.
I feel awful and need a slap

I'm finding it difficult not to compare my ds with his classmates
