I am getting desperate. My son is impossible in the mornings (most school days these days) - says he is physically unable to get up, can't drag himself out of bed. When he does go to school he's fine, quite happy and doing OK. But on the other days it's like a different person wakes up from the one we said good night to. He doesn't like his school, that's true but no matter how we have impressed upon him that it isn't a choice, he still plays this 'I can't help it, I can't do it' card. I've taken him to the GP - nothing wrong. I've made another appointment now and am waiting for referral from GP to counsellor to come through - not that my son entertains that idea at all and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get him to go. We have support from the school and have kept them in the loop - but they are now faced with calling us before a panel, and if things don't improve then, we will be prosecuted. My son knows this and still it doesn't seem to have made any difference. He is loving and sweet towards us - except in the mornings. I am at my wits end.
