Ewan is at school - for the first half term has on half days but since half term has been full time.
Never an issue getting him to go to school he seems to love it.
Over the past couple of months we have had afew major changes for him to deal with 1, his dads work van caught fire (him and his dad used to go out in it so Ewan loved it) 2, We have had to sell our Jeep as it was costing too much 3, Our boat caught fire and is a total loss (we spent most weekends there in the summer) We took him to see the boat which we now think may not have been a good idea, but we didnt know how to explaint to him that the boat had just vanished.
He keeps remembering things that were in the van or on the boat, and he lost afew toys that he loved.
Since all this he has become very short tempered, grumpy and wingey.
We spoke to the school last week and they said it could be the weather and time of year etc. and that he had flipped out earlier in the day cos he couldnt get his socks on!
Today the teacher saw me and said they had had more issues with a short fuse, including him telling the teacher he hates her, and telling teachers he doesnt want to do the work, obviously they wont tolerate being spoke to like that. and i have notice that he has been saying to me i dont like you. which he never did untill he started school
He is the youngest in the class, but also the biggest in size which doesnt help!
Its all a bit out of character and dont know how to help him, or resolves the anger, he is usually quite happy.
