Hi my name is El, I’m a mother of a 7 year old boy. I have signed in today because of recent problems with him and needed to reach out.  He always makes me laugh, the most recent thing was he made a zoo in our living room with all his stuffed animals and gave myself and his Dad tickets to get in! I try to keep the stress levels down by talking everything through, although at the moment the stress is pretty high. I came here today because my child has changed schools to my school where I am a teacher and is struggling at his new school socially to the point where his teachers think there maybe some condition. He has extreme low self esteem which started at his last school just last year, he has a terrible time with his teacher and completely blocked himself. It’s difficult being at the same school with all this happening. It’s actually heartbreaking and I am finding hard to cope. Especially as I am not completely in agreement with what the say.  I don’t have a teenager but with my recent experience I would say make sure they are emotionallly strong and that they are able to recognize and process their feelings. My best part of the weekends are family time and the beach. I hope I can get some help here  Thankyou ... View more
