Firstly I always get told I am too soft. My son is a kind a gentle boy and deep down he is lonely (single child and single mum) so does whatever he can to make friends. This includes doing things he know will upset me and get him grounded for a month at a time. He has tried to keep away from these other children at school but after weeks of walking around on his own as no-one wants the naughty boy in their group, he fell straight back into it. When I talk to him he cries and tells me it’s because he has no real friends. Now he has asked to move schools and have a fresh start. He is also dyslexic so struggles at school and is in the bottom sets, so the boys he is trying to keep away from are in all of his classes. I don’t know if moving is the answer because how do I stop this all happening again. Has anyone been through anything similar?
