Hello,
I'm not sure what to do to be honest. My Ds who was 4 in August started reception class in September and is struggling emotionally. He actually seems to like to go to school, gets dressed happily and goes in well, his teacher is lovely and says he's the one she asks too to help others/show them how to do things and is bright, confident and interactive in class.
But he keeps getting 'red' cards for hitting another child who has taken something from him/kicked or hit him. This has happened 3 times since he started and only on a Friday afternoon. I'm going to start picking him up after lunch time now on a Friday as he's just too tired to cope by then. He was falling asleep in class on friday afternoons but apparently his not allowed too anymore, so I'm happy to pick him up.
Also, he hates having to put pencil to paper to write and this seems to be non optional, they have to write everyday in class. He happily draws and practices writing letters at home without any problems although his pencil grip is not ideal, he is forming letters. The TA in his class says he just wont join in at writing time and is quite stubborn, will hide himself away under a table so that he doesn't have to do it. He's the youngest in the class and obviously emotionally younger too.
But my question is should I, or could I remove him completely for another year to help him cope better emotionally and restart reception class again next year if he's still struggling?
I really don't know what to do for the best.
