Ds got sent home from school yesterday with a headache which he later admitted it was really because he just hates his new school, no friends in his class and that he's really anxious and scared every minute that he's there. I told him it would get better in time but this morning he was hysterical and locked himself in the loo for an hour crying. Had to keep him off, hysteria didn't stop until about 10am. He's 11 so just gone into secondary school. Please tell me this will pass, I'm beyond stressed! Never had any problems like this with him before.

Eek. Can you talk to the school about this and get them to help make his transition as smooth as possible? I'm surprised they sent him home on the first day, tbh. He can't have been the only child to be overwhelmed :(
