Hi my 6yo old is really struggling this year in his second year of school and I feel like I'm at breaking point. He is currently on a long waitlist for adhd assessment. We currently do not have the funds to go privately with expenses for our other child and bills mortgage etc. My son has always showed signs of hyperactivity from a young age but never flagged anything out of the ordinary at preschool. He was emotional in his first year at school but again the teacher didnt flag anything serious just clashes with other boys and wrestling and rough play. His new teacher this year has flagged with me that his attention and concentration are poor and enery levels are high through the day hes hitting children on yard time and having strong meltdowns and emotional regularity at school. She has said that academically he is fine. He has also struggled with noise levels during shows in the hall around large groups and on yard and I have suggested lots to his teacher to help provide safe environment for my son and given in ear defender buds recently to use. He began chewing his sleeves of his uniform and the teacher suggested pencil top chewies which i gladly told her to introduce if it made him stop. He does not chew his clothing at home and this has not been an issue since early December. He also was given a wobble cushion for his chair to help with fidgeting and movement which I gladly agreed to use as I feel whatever help that can be given feel free. I am a proactive parent and understand as i work in childcare myself. However it seems like every day there are things he has done that seem to be needed to be talked about to me after school. My son has just turned 6 years old and today came out crying from school as he hit a girl in the privates as she was annoying him shouting in his ear on the way out and was in trouble. Last week the teacher did not see on yard apparently had hands on someone's throat. The teacher didn't see the incident today but he cried in the yard and said he is a bad person. He is aware that each day the teacher reports to me. I'm worried his little spirit will break and he will start to lose confidence and self esteem with the constant comments after school each day and truly feel disappointed in himself.. I'm also extremely drained from it my anxiety is through the roof as i want to give my child the best start and not a day goes by that i dont hear from the teacher. He is so young and i feel worried of what the outcome is. His teacher has been lovely but isnt working there long and is younger I'm not exactly sure as to where to go from here. Has anyone else had similar raising their child?
