So I'm schooling my baby boy but he's growing too fast. He is starting to express his interest of attending regular schools and stop homeschooling altogether. I'm not sure if I am ready for that. Do you have any advice for me?
We're other way around. I am the one who's more excited to bring my daughter to school. She was literally crying every time I drop her to her classroom. There were moments that she was pulling me to get inside the room and stay with her. I had to stay in the corridor for hours and waited for her dismissal. The guidance counselor had some series of discussions with her and me. I was advised that she may be suffering from separation anxiety. She was recommended to see a specialist and had some therapy session. I'm thankful that it only took about 5-6 weeks. She's okay now and always excited to go to school.
You think I should also look for a specialist for my son? I found in Google that BetterHelp can help me find therapist near me. I am just worried that my son is not yet prepared for the real school life. I won't be there to protect him if some kids would try to bully him. I am also anxious if he would be able to listen to his teachers and understand the lessons.
Your boy's interest in to go to school is a positive sign that you have nothing to worry about. You just need to guide so that he can easily adjust to a new environment.
