DS really hates school, he has few friends, is quite socially awkward and has dyspraxia so as you can imagine, Sports day is a nightmare for him. What makes it worse is that the kids at the school are very, very competative and take it all very seriously shouting and screaming etc and it really stresses DS out.
Sports day for ds is nothing but frustration, embarrassment and stress.
I remember the feeling all too well.
He's 10. AIBU to just let him have the day off? He's never usually off, his school attendance is excellent.
