mamaandmore: so sorry to hear that DS5 is sad. The good news is that the teacher alerted you. And don't feel bad about him not telling you. Some kids just see their school and home worlds as completely separate and don't talk about one at the other. Hopefully, he'll get through it soon!

In the meantime, maybe you could have him put on a puppet show with animals who go to school? Maybe that would help you figure out what's going on?
