Thanks everyone!
I have to admit, I stayed away from the counselor last year, because ds didn't especially like her. I like her, but I'm not him.
I would agree that maybe this is transition, but it is all the same behaviors (minus the nightmares) from last year- just sped up. (Last year: August- bored, November- saying physically ill, March- "wanted to die"). Therefore, I am more thinking school is somehow stressful situation- dealing with having to do "baby stuff", social, and behaving.
I am wanting this year to be better for him. Just trying to do things differently this year, as what I did last year didn't work.
