Hi, right I'll try to sum up so I don't waffle I'm too much.
My son is nearly 5 he's summer born at the end of August so straight away he started school a lot younger than most in his year. I didn't hold him back a year as he's such a confident boy who loves being around other kids.
My son has a stammer 😢 and he can talk very well but he's found it very difficult to make friends as children can be very impatient which is normal but he's starting to realise there's something amiss with his speech, he hadn't noticed as we follow all guild lines and he just sees speech therapy as fun!
The school have been fab, they even sent his teacher on a stammer course.
The problem is they haven't done much about him feeling left out at play and dinner and having no friends to play with. on Friday a couple of kids were laughing at him telling him to pull his pants down!!! 😡😡 they keep singling him out and saying snide things to him, this is one incident of about 3. I feel like it's to embarrass him. I was in tears when he told me! I phoned the school and I'm going in on Monday for a meeting, they are making me feel like I'm mivering because I have to complain so much but that's my job!! I'm not having anyone bullying my kids! I need a-bit of advice, is it just kids being kids?? Am I being over protective because of his stammer??? I don't know 🤔 but I'm at the point of taking him out and home schooling until I find another school place. The school said they are monitoring him at break and play times to make sure he has someone to play with ... but then why is he being picked on now too?? Is "monitoring" another word for doing balls all.
A bit of help would be appreciated ladies, would just like others opinions before I go tomorrow. X
