Should we homeschool struggling 5 year old?
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2016 9:51 am
I'm the mother to a very loving 5 year old little boy who is struggling in public school. He went to daycare and preschool since he was 2 and started public school last August. It's been a trip, a bad one.
He gets suspended constantly. Hitting, fits, not listening, not getting along with his peers who now mock him for being the boy who can't control his temper. After several meetings with counselors, psychologists, and his school staff, they found him to have a social disorder. We partnered him up with a paraprofessional to aid him in the classroom and it's not helping. I feel as if he's missing out on the learning experience because he's always in trouble. At home, he's such a solid child. Even at daycare, he's mostly well behaved.
Of course the school just wants me to keep him there but it breaks my heart to see him struggle.
Would homeschooling him make his social disorder worse? He would still attended daycare daily while I'm at work.
Thank you,
