Hi, Im worried about my son. He is in year 6 at school, and used to be quite boisterous and confident but since joining year 6 has become very anxious, shy and quiet. He doesn't seem to have a problem with his friends or learning, but has been a bit nervous about secondary applications and sats exams coming up. He has become very quiet after school and in the last month or so it gets to 6pm and he wants to go to bed...I never used to be able to get him to bed. He just looks unhappy. I ask whats wrong and he says he 'doesn't feel right' but he doesn't know why. I don't understand if its something hes not telling me or if its hormones, or if year 6 is just a stressful year.

It could be any or all of the things you mention, but it could also be something more. Google depression symptoms in kids and see if it rings a bell.
