Does starting school make children crazy for a bit?

yes foudn this out last term when they were all sick of each other

dd1 had friend home and just ignored her and shut herself in her bedroom in hideous spoilt fashion. When I went in she said 'I am sick of my friends at school'

my ds has just come through his year of reception and is about to be in year 1.(gasp at being a big boy!)
The main thing we have noticed is that it's like someone has turned his volume switch up to max and then broken the knob so it won't turn down! He is so LOUD these days! He is apparently very good in school with a sensible mature attitude...and i think it's all too much so when he comes out he has to let off steam big time!
We kept finding that he would come home and fall asleep on the sofa in that first term and also his last term before the summer hols.
The run up to christmas was a nightmare too;very overtired and over excited.
He has loved this first year and can't wait to go back on tuesday, but yes we just notice how much more grown up he seems.
My top tip- make sure they are confident with going to the loo at school and know what the drill is-what's expected of them.
