What to do with school?

[pandakid11]

Hi

My son made it first 2 days and is excited about school. He is so sick of homeschool (he did this from Dec-May last year). He ran out of gas and is shaky and in pain so didn't make it yesterday or today. What do we do? Thanks

Hi - could he do part days? and ease in to what he can comfortably manage?

Echo dut -- could he go 1/2 days or even less, just so he can have the experience of participating and seeing his friends, but doesn't get overwhelmed or physically overtaxed?

 

Not to hijack the thread, but you've mentioned "pain" before, and while some of our kids experience that from time to time, I haven't seen a lot of reports which refer to pain as a chronic issue. But you've mentioned your DS's pain a few times now, and I'm just wondering what your doctors say as to why it doesn't seem to be abating at all? Can you give him ibuprofen and provide for the school nurse to give him another dose during the day, if needed? That might assist with both issues: keeping him in school for a longer day and helping him manage the pain he's experiencing.
