Right Im having realy probelms with DS just started Y1 and basically HATES school (was never like this in reception in fact loved school) Getting upset, not wanting to go etc... He says the reason is because it's really, really hard.
A couple of things he's mentioned are the usual no toys and having to sit on the carpet for HOURS but more concerning he says he hates writing and numbers and this is getting him very worked up.
He says everyone else writes fast and completes there work in time...he says he cant figure it out in time what he has to write and it makes him slow also he has to put in full stops and he is not sure.
With numbers, he says he is the ONLY one that uses a number line. I think he is quite good at numbers but he says not.
It is obviously bothering him as I have tears every morning and when I take him into school he is so clingy. I told him we can do 1 minute a night pracitsing writing/numbers at home.
What do you advise? How did you or have you helped your dc.
Do you think I should have a brief meeting with teacher - more the fact that I want to help in him at home and need ideas from her I suppose on how I can do this
I just want my little man to go to school happy - never had this in reception he adored school but now is very, very unhappy and sad
