School Avoidance

Kate17

My son attendeds a SEN school. He's always refused school to some degree. He's now 7 and it's just getting to much and I don't know what to do anymore.

It's a physical battle every morning. I still have to physical dress him and physical force him into school. It's destroying me physically and emotionally and I'm so worried about him.

He's pre verbal so I can't ask him what's wrong. School don't really have much to say because I still manage to get him there and they say he's fine in school.

I'm seriously thinking of homeschooling him but I have no idea how to get him out of there or if their going to make it difficult for me.

He has an EHCP but I think it's just the school environment im general he can't cope with.

I'm so worried about him being off and getting into trouble.

Please Help. Where do I start? What do I do?

  • Hello Kate, I wouldn’t worry too much about getting into trouble as this situation isn’t your fault and by the sounds of it you are doing everything you can already. It can be a lonely road having a child with such difficulties, you really only want the best for them. To ease your worries a little and that’s if you haven’t done so in depth already I would say speak with the school, explain your concerns for your son and his education because in some cases they can set up part time timetables or shorter school days which may be beneficial to you both.
