Help me make the right decision for our troubled 7year old please!?
He’s unhappy at school though isn’t being physically bullied so I don’t think he has a clear understanding that he’s not as happy as a child his age should be. We’ve struggled and worked with School about his worries and seeming lack of a strong bond with any other child but for one lovely girl. I don’t feel School are committed to getting to the bottom of his woes and nurture support is very very hard to get in lace there. Friendships among the boys in that class are controlled by one particular, over confident boy and it’s making my boy miserable.
He gets on with things in School and breaks in a heap when he gets home. He’s despondent about learning and his academic achievement is already dropping.
We are looking into relocating to an area that has space for both our children and has great secondary education but I’m terrified we’ll make his angst worse by pulling him away from everything he knows.
We have a great house, an allotment and good friends here but my gut is telling me a fresh start is the right thing for him. He’s a worrier and overthinks everything.
I’m so stressed about this and would really appreciate some words of wisdom.
To add, our reception daughter doesn’t love going to school either so I’m not too concerned about starting over for her.
