I'm happy to help, or even just listen. You will do great! Because you're doing it for the best reasons. How many people would take the school's word for it and think that the problem of behavioural issues lie with the child and not the school. I mean we've all heard people say: He was just difficult in school; when it really was the school that created his behaviour. What I did with my eldest was I didn't right away dive into the 'work' with her. I let her do her thing for a bit, for months really. We'd do stuff together like cook, talk, or just plain 'be' but no 'school' stuff. I wanted to get her out of the school state of mind. And it took a while, but that's because she's been in the school system longer (13). Your son is younger, so probably won't need that long. But I'd advise you to go for walks, play or whatever makes him happy, but do it together if possible. And then you will instinctively know what he needs and he will be open to tell you what he would LOVE to do. I wish you all the best with this, you got this mommy!
