Help Me -I Want to Ring the School.....

[TylersMum]

DS started school this morning, got on the coach happily and waved Daddy goodbye. Dh said he didn't bat an eyelid, was happy to go with the escort, Pauline, and sat next to Aiden (anothger new boy starting today who is 9 months older) on the bus, started off by asking him his name - GREAT start!

 

I am desperately trying to keep busy and NOT ring the school to see how he is. They said I could ring if I wanted to but hes only been there an hour and a half so I guess its a bit too soon.

<'> Try not to give in and ring. I say this for two reasons. First reason let him settle and give him some time to do this. If you ring now you may not get an acurate picture so give it some time. Second, let the staff think you are confident in their abilities to cope with your son. It's a bit of home grown psycology and it can work wonders if you let them think, that you think, they can cope Hope that that makes sense?

 

Post here instead we will listen to you without think you are over anxious

Oh TylersMum, <'>

 

I know it's difficult. Have you got an understanding friend you could telephone for a chat? It's probably best to keep busy.

 

The school did say you could ring, if you really can't stand it any longer then just give them a ring.

 

I hope it turns out to be a successful day.

That's good advice from Carole hunni, it is best to start off on the best foot with the school and let them see you've every confidence in their abilities.

 

However, that's easier said than done. Mine are 13 and 15 and they go back tomorrow too and despite the age difference I have no doubt I'll be feeling just the same tomorrow.

He has got a School to Home book, and according to his teacher, he had a great day and is going horseriding next Thursday (and every Thurs thereafter) and swimming every Wednesday.
