[QUOTE="ML, post: 434549"] Hello, Just writing to say I'm in the same boat. Manster is a year older than your son but here middle school is 7th and 8th and I too am very concerned about this upcoming transition. Everything you listed could have described my son except for the trouble with reading. I've just been talking to him about it. I keep telling him that he will be successful because he's very smart and has many strengths. I think he's also worried about teasing. He asked me if he could take online school because he was worried about kids being mean. I told him that yes they could be but that I knew he could handle it and if needed back up I would be there to support him. One thing we're doing to help improve his self esteem is taking him to the gym. He needs to lose some weight and just loves going. My mom and he are workout partners and so far it seems to be a good thing. He actually asks to go! That is huge for my boy who is more of an indoorsman to put it lightly lol. We can support each other through this. We will just take it one day at a time. I guess we'll expect the best and prepare for the worst? Anyway, you're so not alone in this! [/QUOTE]
