DS3 is due to start reception in September and I just don't want him to! I didn't feel this way with the older 2 but it feels wrong. I think it's a combination of things, I've now seen first hand how school changes children, I've come to believe that we start children in formal school way to early in this country and the simple fact that I don't think he's ready to sit and write etc.The thought of him going to school makes me want to cry.
Then there's ds2, he's 8 and in yr3, we are having behaviour problems with him and he is sad a lot of the time, no apparent problems as such at school, doesn't seem to be being bullied etc and I'm wondering if his problem is just school, that it doesn't work for him, doesn't let him be himself and express his very creative nature.
Does that make any sense at all?
So we are wondering about home-eding them both. I've read loads of info,can't find any local groups online, I'm in Rugby and the sites that list groups have big gaps around me.
If you've taken children out of school how did you make that decision? how did you know it was right? I'm aware that this is such a high birth rate yr starting in September I would struggle to get him in at a later date if we changed our minds and I don't know what to do, or maybe I'm just scared
Thank you if you've got through all of that and well done if it made sense to you
