Worried about son at school.

My son is 6 and has had a slight problem with a couple of his friends teasing him.

I won't go into any details as such as it could be outing. I'm hoping it's been resolved now as had no more issues ( touch wood )

But now I'm constantly worrying about him while he's at school and it's affecting me and making me anxious.

I think the teasing has probably effected me more than it has him and I'm now constantly on edge.

I'm aware I'm over protective, but can seem to stop it. I can't wait for for home time so I can check he's ok.

I'm not sure what I'm asking but just need to write this down.

How can I stop being so over protecting and anxious? I'm aware he's probably no angel but ... 😔

Maybe a quick chat with his teacher would be reassuring for you - just ask them to keep an eye out on what is going on.

Knowing that is happening and someone else knows may ease your mind.

Had similar with my lb who's 7. I felt much better when I let teacher know and they caught up with me a week later with an update.

Yes agree with above. Part of your anxiety probably comes from the sense of releasing him into the unknown every day. If you explain your concerns to the teacher and maybe ask for frequent updates I'm sure he /she will oblige and you'll be able to relax a bit.

Thank you both for your replies. The teacher is in the know about what previously happened as I had a word off the record. I felt much better in speaking to them, they were lovely about it.

It's just in the back of my mind still. All good yesterday, apparently no issues.
