RE: What’s best is not always what is preferred
This is a very difficult position to be in and I have the utmost respect for you. Understanding the degree of stress and pain your child was going through and waiting on the other end of the phone must have been unbearable at times.
You acted and made a strong choice to pull him out of school and help him gain his confidence back. That is very admirable.
It's nice to hear that he wants to go back to school but I can see how that would be difficult for you. Being able to do the right thing by your children will have it's ups and downs. He is very lucky to have a mother who recognises the struggle and puts 120% of her time into his growth and happiness.
I'm so glad this post was brought to light by @cstrimel in the BuddyUP server.
I'm grateful too! (About to look up BuddyUP.) It was such a relief to pull him out of school, and it will be a relief for him to go back in some ways. Especially if I can establish a personal routine (which I can't right now because of his caretaking/schooling needs). I think this could be wonderful for both of us.
One thing I'm reflecting on right now, and I'm very open to opinions, is whether we should schedule a section of at-home learning that reflects the manner of schooling he will be doing in Fall. I'd like to just download something or maybe set him up with online school so he can start practicing that accountability he's never really had before. His other school was very fluid, and at home he has a fair amount of freedom in how he does his work as long as he gets it done.
