It is easy making decisions in the holidays, isn't it? But you both need the break from the tension.

I do hope that your son continues to feel that the new school is the best for him. Going back would have been hard, I felt.

Take care,

Simon

Thanks Simon. Yes I would imagine that going back would have brought a whole set of new or returning emotions for him - and we would have been in the same or worse situation. Although I can see - from his point of view - that the more familiar was looking better than the unfamiliar.

He has done a couple of amazing things these past couple of months though. I would never have thought he'd do a complete day at one new school - and then several days at this other new one. I never would have thought he'd actually be able to achieve something like this. Not sure he sees it this way - and he still is trying to hide his head in the sand - but we can only try and keep moving forward and that incredibly slow pace that school refusal moves!
Take care
Linda
