[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 496332, member: 13038"] This is pretty common with our kids, in my experience--school is very stressful for them, and when they get home they tend to fall apart, because they've used all of their coping skills/energy to deal with their school day. That was one of the reasons I pulled mine out of school (among others). Like Buddy says, though, that's not without its own problems. Brownie really misses school, even though he wasn't really learning anything there. He misses the social part and the predictable routine, etc. The trick, I guess, is to get the school to give them therapeutic breaks during the day so they're not so wasted when they get home. For Bug, we figured out one of the most stressful things about school (for him) was the bus ride--so we drove him. It was a pain but it was something we could easily control. Anyway, your son sounds a lot like Brownie. Brownie is quite negative; I guess we're just used to it. [/QUOTE]
