My landlord sold our house, as we had to move and I had just received news that my health condition had worsened, I decided it was the right time to relocate back to my little boys dads home town ( 400 miles away) to be near his large family for support with our 8 year old who also has ADHD. My little boy started a new school 6 weeks ago, he has not settled in at all, he is a very sociable gentle little boy and i really thought as he normally makes friends so easily he would be fine. He has literally changed his now goes between being sad and being rude, yesterday he was breaking his heart crying at the school gate that no one was playing with him etc long story short it sounds like some of the children are picking on him/not including him.. he has totally lost his spark and says all the time he wants to go back to where we lived before to his old life. We have the chance of a house with a housing association as we are staying with in-laws still, which I realise is a miracle as it has been offered so quickly and I don’t think we will get another chance of one for months and months but it’s the other side of town…do i go with the house we really want and cut our losses and start him at a new school? Where he could thrive immediately or would that be more traumatic for him.. yet another school, I feel so sorry for him and I don’t know what to do for the best
I myself am not a fan of the school he is at as within this 6 weeks he has been there I have asked 3 or 4 times how is he settling in? About his homework I have asked shouldn’t he be getting extra help due to his ADHD and dispraxia and have had no reply, I now have a meeting with the head teacher next week as I feel I’m getting nowhere.
Any advice would be super helpful
Thank you
