He is nearly 7.
It's been a pretty hellish half term, lots of sibling warfare, me shouting and arguments.
He also got very anxious when I had an appointment the other day, despite my mother looking after him - he made her stay with him in the waiting room instead of going somewhere else or staying at home, and cried and clung to me when I had to go in.
He hasn't done this since starting school when he was 5 and a half.
This morning he came and cried in my bed saying he can't go back, he hates the 'system' of being told off all the time, and saying he cries in every lesson - not true afaik, only ICT!
I know he has a good social circle at school, was looking forward to footie club starting this term, and usually when I collect him he says it was great and seems carried away with laughing and having fun.
So am not sure what's gone wrong or how to respond.
Thanks for any thoughts...I would be oK to teach him at home if I knew it was the right thing but am not sure it is.
