My son started reception class of primary school two weeks ago, and he hates it.
He cries at bedtime, wakes throughout the night upset and cries his way through the school gates. School say he is up and down throughout the day, but does get upset quite a lot.
Does anyone have any advice? We have kept a strict sleep schedule to give him as much rest as possible as the school day is so long and tiring at age 4.
Ive made him little soft heart shapes to keep in his trouser pockets so when he feels nervous or sad he can stroke them in his pockets. We tried drawing a heart on each others hands. Nothing seems to help, he is sad because he misses me and I am not in school with him.
It’s so upsetting, any advice is greatly appreciated
