Last week my sons head of year told me to “stop making it fun at home, ignore him and make it so boring he wants to come to school”. After I recovered from such an idiotic comment I suggested they make it more interesting in school so he wants to attend!
Why is it so difficult for so many to understand that children need to feel safe and secure, that without that safety bar children will not thrive?
And who on earth thought that making a child's HOME less welcoming is a good idea??? Home should be their warm cosy hug where they *know* they are safe- it shouldn't be hard work.

We had exactly this comment about my eldest boy “it must be far too interesting for him at home, stop making it so nice!”
Again, your writing is spot on.
Thank you!
