Being overtired

[roundthebend4]

Need some help ds is very tired with school to point hecomes home eats with help then is crabby and grumpy and falls asleep by 5-5.30. Often me wailing him at 7 am

his taxi pick up is 7.40 home. About 4.20

but it's now affecting him on weekends was very tired and grouchy all weekend sleeping 14 hrs or so

not sure what to do as he us exhausted and looks it to .
Ds is 5.3 has cp ,gdd verbal oral dyspraxia and EDS

Yeah know some have oppsite problems but this no fun either ds is normally fun happy little chap who lives life

This is so not him even school have noticed that he is very tired and commented on it

He did one term in ms reception then we moved and while argued with new Lea he went to private Sn nursery I found run by mencap 2 days a week 9,30- 2,30 got away with it as he was not 5 till July just gone

he is in year 1 now started in September at speech unit know some of it is because there they make him work none of the poor dc. Stuff that he had in ms

it's the fact he is struggling to eat as so tired and this weekend he did not want to do anything

I'll probably get used to this and he will go back to waking up early and in the night

ds is in year 2 now and still has a wee sleep after lunch

ah no theres no chance of napping at school for ds.

Guess going to have to keep poking him

dd3 gets very tired at school too. They have had to build some quiet time into her timetable where she's away from the other dcs to allow her to recharge her batteries a little. She doesn't sleep when she gets home, apart from in the car on the way but she's really irritable for the rest of the evening and cries at the drop of a hat, she still won't go to bed before 9. I'm hoping half term will let her get back to her usual self.

im hoping half term will see me having a happy ds back

yes ds often sleeps in car coming back to and sadly theres nowher efor him to escape from other dc as small class mind is only 8 in there.Though he did fall asleep other day in class for a while head on desk job

What does the school say - is he able to concentrate/have fun there or do they also have concerns?

If he is happy and learning there then you might have to put up with the early nights for a while 9actually quite

If they also have concerns then maybe you could "home-ed" one day a week -say a Wednesday to let him recharge?

there noticeing that by Friday he is really struggling at school and is tearfull and less inclined to join in with it and complains that he hurts

it might sound good that he is sleeping so much
but its not i have a very tired child before and after school and who is exausted on a weekend .All the fun things he enjoyed doing on weekend etc he is just to tired for to point we went out and he kept dozing of did not want to join in .Which is not like him at all

What about a sleepy home-ed Wednesday for a term or two then?

Poor love

ty

might well ask about this though think ther epull the specalist teacher needed line as he is in a speech unit .

Like im not caperable of teaching him anything
