Hi everyone!
Any advice on this one would be gratefully received please!
I have a 10 year old son at mainstream school who has the most awful meltdowns.
The problem is that the school does not seem to be able to cope with it. They seem to be triggered by things that don't go the way he would like, for example not being chosen for something or simply being warned about behaviour... but the meltdowns go on and on and are very disruptive , causing class to be evacuated etc.
He was even suspended for this recently and they have needed to restrain him and call me to collect several times. They try to encourage him to move to an alternative place but he just remains static, roaring and screaming. It really is awful.
At the age of 10. I am very concerned about his ability to survive at school, socially and emotionally and worry that at secondary he will surely be the target of ridicule if this continues or receive more exclusions.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas!!
PS. He is perfectly able academically but seems to have no motivation to attend school or do well in his subjects.
