Going to Big School
Posted: Sat May 24, 2014 8:54 am
The realisation that my baby boy is leaving primary school in just 9 weeks (how did that happen?!??) has just dawned on me and I seem to be in major panic about it all - not helped by the fact that my job involves working with children who are often struggling / miserable at school.
There's only him and one other going to his school from our tiny primary and there are a couple of big primaries locally who will be sending much bigger numbers there. DS isn't sporty at all, not an aleph male, also physically quite small and whilst bright has never thought of himself as anything other then average.
I'm just flapping about whether he'll make friends / survive in a competitive environment. He has a big group of friends at primary - his year group is very close and with them he is v confident but with new people he is very shy.
He will be ok won't he? Any hints and tips? Feel free to tell me to stop flapping
