Hi there,
I am new on here writing from rainy England.
I have a 6 year old boy that I am worried about. He has been assessed since he was 3 due to late talking and then it progressed on to struggling at school. No-one has come up with anything but they have said he has learning difficulties and he is more like a child of 5. The school have set up an IEP since he started and he has 1:1 for 30/40 mins a day. They have now called in a School Psychologist to observe/assess and advise the school about possible new teaching methods to prevent him from falling further behind. I am starting to get shunned by some parents and some kids don't want to play with my son because they can see he sometimes lacks understanding and is a bit immature.
His behaviour is very good, I have never experienced any tantrums, he is very affectionate, a bit sensitive (gets that from me!) and very sociable. He is also very happy and I adore him.
However, I want him to have good friends, even average at school would be fine with me and do well in life.
He is an only child because I am unable to have any more.
I feel pretty much an emotional wreck most of the time mainly because of the way other people can be and my concerns about what the future holds for him.
thanks for reading and God Bless
Caroline
