To clarify, the period of possible depression was after the bad preschool experience right? Things are not as bad this time? (Or is it hard to say if he turning his frustration inward and shutting down.)
We cross posted again! You're going with advocacy!
Yes it was at/after Pre-school. The thing about was that we didn't realise how bad he felt until it was really bad. He kept saying he was fine, and then ... complete refusal to go to school. So every time he says something like 'i just want to stay home and play cars' or similar i start freaking out that i'm missing something major.
I would happily homeschool him, but i want to give school a proper chance. I feel like i'm doing most of his mental work anyway...
The book fair was ok, we got to go in their class for 45 mins, during thier 'free play time'. DS made a rocket then played on the pc with his 2 friends. He seemed quite happy.
