ds's first week at primary not going well...

[ItsPotatoesForYouMyLad]

ds will be 5 next month. he's attended nursery since 7months old so is used to me leaving him and coming back. he was never super excited about starting school, but was ok about it.
so...
on monday he had a little tear as i left him; at the end of the day he'd seriously loved it
on tuesday he proper cried and the TA had to take him out of the classroom; end of day he hadn't enjoyed it.
on wednesday he proper cried and clung to my leg limpet style, TA again took him out of classroom; end of day he'd hated it 'school is stupid'-style.
today he cried, screamed and shouted walking towards school, sat on the floor outside school refusing to move, i carried him kicking and screaming into school where another teacher (not his) peeled him off me and he never even made it into the classroom.

now i do realise he will settle eventually, he'll have no choice. BUT i could really do with some positive stories from you nice mners about los who were as bad as this and got over it.
also any tips on how to ease the situation gladly received.

Oh my! . You poor thing . It just feels wrong doesn't it. They are still so small at 4 (Dd1 is 5 at the end of March). I hope that you get a positive response from the teacher. I was pleased with mine. I know they have seen it all before and know the children get through it, but we don't!

VanillaPumpkin - oops sorry i didn't check back in!

so it's week five and ds had a little tear this morning. he's continued to be quite anxious about me leaving him even tho he seems to have made some mates who he looks forward to playing with! we haven't had any more tantrums - he definately got the messsage that would not be tolerated. he has cried more days than not, but it's more a little sob now than a hysterical, hanging-on-to-the-leg kind of hollow.

he tells me a lot of detail about what the teacher has taught them or what story she's read, what he's had to eat, who he's played with etc. so i do KNOW he's ok during the day really.
