Hi everyone I'm looking for some advice.
Recently my 13 year old son is not having a good time at school at all. He absolutely hates going to school and gets upset at the thought and very anxious. I've had in depth chats with him about why and there's no rhyme or reason, he just hates it. It goes beyond typical unmotivated teenager just not wanting to get out of bed. He's not getting bullied or bothered and has his small friend group but like I say just can't deal with it.
I work as a carer and am a single parent. It's just an awful worry when I leave for work and know he's going to school absolutely dreading his day.
He brought up home education to me which I personally have never thought about as it terrifies me. So I pondered it and done a bit of Google research but really I'm just looking for some experience in this and how you managed it if at all! Honestly I can't imagine doing it but the way things are with him now I'm considering it ever so slightly.
So has anyone particularly single mums gone through or going through this while working? How is it socially? I worry he'd miss out on socialising it's already hard enough with teenagers being in front of a screen half the time!
Any advice or experience is welcome!
Thanks
