anyone else dreading return to school?

[autumnsmum]

hello everyone hope you all had a good festive period im dreading wed because my as son who is in year 1 is returning to school. You all gave me some great advice regarding his issues before , basicly he often refuses to go to school and we have been told by the teacher he has no friends , sorry for the moan any advice on how to make the return easier thanks autumnsmum

I was dreading the return to school,as ds is a prolific school refuser and the behaviour team were coming to force him in as done numerous times previous. Now after the telephone convo I had on New years eve they have cancelled, so now dreading the aftermath from the profs!!!
My other school refuser can't wait to go lol.
Sorry no advice except maybe breaking him back in gradually x

No advice from me, sorry - we have opted out of the whole school thing entirely :)

Yeah me, although Dd3 and I do need some space from each other.

I always dread new terms because I never know if it will take a day or 6 weeks for her to settle back in.

I dread it, but mainly because DS2 has had a fairly calm last few days as he has not had the overstimulation of classroom input. The first week of school is going to be hellish. And he has a hospital appointment later this week and the EP coming to see him early next week, so things will still be up in the air as well.

And there's this little fear of mine of him just walking out of the school again.... he's 4... I'm terrified he'll go missing.... at least when he's home I know he's okay.

hello glad its not just me Isometimes feel envious of otjer parents whose children return with just a bit of a grumble

Yep, here too
DD1 has been crying her eyes out and I have barely slept a wink, am so worried.

Thing is, I home edded her a couple of years ago because her last school was so awful. It went great, but she requested trying a new school. We found a fantastic place, but it's just too much for her, even with support in place.

Her high anxiety levels and sensory issues make it really difficult for her to cope and she ends up totally exhausted.

So I'm sorry, OP, no advice but hugs to you and everyone else going through this today.

well I have to drag my teenage school refuser, who actually wanted to go, to school, as having a bad hair day doesn't call for a day off!!
My other school refuser is still here at home.
