We're struggling with ds (10) behaviour and I'm starting to wonder if there's something else going on we've missed.
He cannot seem to focus on any one thing long enough to finish the job whether it's getting ready for school in the morning (bloody nightmare!), tidying his room, homework or simply going upstairs to get something - he'll find something else to do and generally forgets what he was meant to be doing. We've just found out that since early in the start of term, he's had a table outside the classroom where he is either sent out to work if he's distracting others with talking (most days ) or where he can take himself if he feels he can't concentrate. I'm a bit that we weren't consulted about this but trying not to let that take over my desire to get to the bottom of what's going on. He's a bright boy (passed 11+ comfortably with minimal home help & no tutor) good at maths, science, well read etc so could be bored, but then struggles with English (mainly getting anything down on paper!) School aren't being particularly helpful other than now telling me when he's been in trouble (3 out of 5 days this week ) and we can't afford ÂŁÂŁÂŁ on private consultations if that's even relevant but concerned that he'll be starting secondary school in less than a year and I can't for a minute think they'll entertain his request for a quiet little desk outside the class!
Any thoughts or guidance much appreciated.
