My littlest and I are having a hard time on our paths

My little guy is having a hard time right now about school I think and he is showing me sadness through things he normally wouldn’t be bothered by I think the new stress of new school is a trigger of anxiety for both of us.

Well here is something I found that cheered me up that we are being looked after and that our path will eventually lead to our best destination possible. I hope my son will cheer up soon. I’ve tried and tried but it’s gotten to the point where he has to go through a rough time and find his way out and that really is hard I’d rather bare it for him but it’s good for him to find on his own sometimes.

Starrlight, taking new paths are always challenging. Once we take thosefirst few steps we adapt to a new pathway that leads us in the right direction.

Great Post. My best to you and your son. :) xx

Hi, is it possible to visit the school and reassure your son about the school.

Can he do hybrid? Just a thought. I didn't realize it's a new school. The comfort level he built in his other school has to be built again. It is a growth and he has to adjust. Guide him to things he can do after school to let out his stress. Skate park?

I love the post. Nature is not soiled. Everything in nature is confident in its being. I've read something like a rose doesn't compete with any other flower. It grows and is comfortable in its own beauty. No competition. Confidence that being a rose is perfect. Just like the hawk and the eagle. Both powerful beautiful birds. They know where to go and when.

Humans don't have that same level of confidence. We are too worried about what others think and do. Once we find our way we can choose our paths with no worries about what others think, and find our own confidence and peace.

Perfectly said!!! About the birds and us humans. So he is doing virtual like last year I think everything will be fine ... I let him take breaks when he needs to. And yes! Great idea to go out to a park after the school is over.

It's hard when your Kids are struggling, Starr isn't it? My little Lad hated school, almost every day! He grew up to be a 28 year old, Gentle, Spiritual, Caring person and has a job that suits him completely. School n Exams are necessary, but they aren't everything. In the end all have our own Paths, to follow. Maybe distract him with some Nature, Art-work or Poetry writing? something to take his mind off, completely.

Awesome about your son! What career did he choose? Yes we already do a lot of nature and art but we haven’t painted in a while. He is very into dominos and that is what is keeping him okay. You’re right we all need our little something Thanks Dubba

He works for the NHS. Which suits his caring Nature. But, also does Art work, sometimes Logo's for Companies. ☺️ We used to go on Nature walks, bring back little Twigs, Leaves, interesting Shells and then Paint a Picture about them. Ahhh..Domi's!! I loved a game when I was a Kid, with my Granny and Granda. For me, they can keep the Techno stuff. A good game of Domino,s, is great and it Teaches Skills too. 👍

Good morning. I hope that it gets easier as the school year goes on. I was shocked at how little breaks they get in virtual as compared to an actual school day. Are you able to help him incorporate breaks into the day? I found last year they didn't give the kids any time between classes. I don't know why they do that.

Exactly! So I am giving him breaks when I see that he needs I’m one. They only break for lunch but he will break as needed and If anyone has a problem with it they can have a talk with me. Last year his teacher ‘got’ him and gave lots of breaks. How he is feeling comes first and I don’t want to wait until he is really stressed i want him to voice it right when he starts feeling overwhelmed . This teacher doesn’t seem to be that way. But being virtual makes it my choice snd I have no problem talking with her about what he needs to succeed. Last year he got all As and Bs so it worked but ultimately I want him happy.
