Hi has any one got any advice. My son started reception this year. He cried and hated every minute. they have a attached pre school and the let him attend there, he loved it. So it was decided that he would just go in the pre school until Easter then start to mix with the next year up on a Friday then next September he will start reception. He was very happy going to school but since Christmas every day hes crying at the school gate running back to me. The teacher seamed a bit annoyed this morning at having to come to get him. I just don't know what to do. I talk positively about school he loves it when there its just the going in. His dad hadn't helped by saying he would see more of him of it weren't for school his dad is also moving out of a probation house to a normal place which has upset my son. So I'm constantly reasuering him but can't reasuer to much about his dad as hes unpredictable but reassure about us and our home. I just don't know what to do I hate leaving him so upset but I know he's happy once there i also dint want the teacher getting annoyed as apparently the other today the teacher shouted at him, I do no to take things with a pinch of salt with him as hes very dramatic. I just hate seeing him so upset. Please help

When my son started, he and another boy cried every morning - they ended up as best friends. Is the teacher approachable? What helped us was to ask for a meeting. I took DS and he sat with us to chat it through. The teacher suggested that DS helped him out in class before school, so I took him into the classroom a bit before they all went in and he was given a job. That really helped. Then after a while him being outside with the others again, but he still cried. The teacher always let him go to the front of line up and hold his hand on the way in. Very cute seeing him do that as the teacher was a bloke and about 6'3"! It will get better, I promise. Try and get the school to help you with strategies though.
