My child has moved from mainstream primary to special school for year 7 because his learning difficulties have really dented his confidence. I was hoping he would stay friends with his old pals. They keep bumping into each other on their way into school and they were friendly the first 5 weeks of the new term. However, this morning my ds said his old friends were not answering his calls the last few days. Thought nothing of it but then my husband said they bumped into my ds’s friends from primary, friends that he has had since he was aged 4 in primary and they blanked him. Dh said ds looked shocked. He has not said anything but has sleepwalked tonight. Think it has upset him. Ds is very happy at new school, a new sense of calm. Don’t know what to do.

How awful! I’d keep him away from behaviour like this, it’ll knock his confidence. Don’t let him be that person that constantly seeks approval. I’m sorry this has happened to your DS op, kids can be cruel x

I can’t stop thinking about it. They have been his friends since he was 4. He’s always found things hard but these kids have been his friends for years. I’ve had them round my house lots of times and they are really nice children. Im wondering if they have been teased about speaking to a kid in an sn uniform.

What’s an SN uniform?

They really don’t sound like nice children, if your not sure though why don’t you ask him to invite them round one weekend? X
