My son hates school and it’s affecting his mental health

NAS84722

Hi, my 10 year old son has struggled with school for a while now and it’s getting to the point where it is really effecting him. All he wants is to be home schooled. This is the last resort for me but I just feel guilty at not even considering this avenue because I just think it would isolate him and his anxietys would get worse. I just don’t know what to do? Is it really important to push him through mainstream school? Or be at home?. If he can’t cope, what’s more important your child’s well being or go through school and effecting your mental health

  • I have been attending a group run by Pinpoint in Cambridgeshire. They do a Friday morning Tii Chat on Zoom. It ios supposed to be just for Cambridgeshire but I strongly recommend that any parent struggling with school refusal etc attend. YOu will find many others who have been or are going though the same situation. It is a charity and I can vouch for it being quite safe It is where I felt safe enough to announce my own realisation that I am Autistic.
