My son is 16 next month, he has quite a lot of different challenges, but at his parents evening all his teachers said he has got it in him to achieve way more but as soon as he comes across a problem, as soon as he doesn't understand something or if he thinks that people believe he will fail he just gives in, switches off and there's no 'turning him back on again'
I was thinking of private tuition, but after last night's parents evening I think he would benefit more from some kind of therapy, something that can get under the surface and find out why he buckles before even trying, some one who will be able to build him up and give him the confidence to hit things head on, I don't expect A* from him, I just want him to gain the confidence to achieve to the best of his own ability.
So who do I turn to???
