Coping skills for a first grader?

Question

Ok so yesterday I posted a question about my son hating school and how it all happened last year at this time of the year and it is happening again. Most of the time he loves school he does well and has alot of friends. Towards the end he can't wait for summer and doesn't want to go and it is a daily struggle. So now I am thinking my favorite answer said I need to let him handle having to go to school and deal with being there on his own I did that but what can I do to help him cope with the everyday things that happen in school and the fact that I am not there with him to help him deal I mean like when a kid cut in front of him at the lunch line or the fact that all the other kids aren't always going to be nice to him just like the everday things I think are what are overwhelming him and the fact that I am not there to run to.He is a middle child so I kinda always tried to make sure he had enough attention so he turned out to be a mamma's boy. And now he has to learn to cope.

Answer 1

you have to cut the cord and let him go. he is the way he is because you baby him so stop tell him hes a big boy and able to handle whatever happens at school.

as far as the letting him handle getting up and going to school  on his own your wrong you are legally responsible for making sure hes there everyday  or you could end up in jail

lady hes 6 not 16

Answer 2

My son's like this too.  I think in particular with boys, you have to let them learn "playground rules" on their own.  I teach my kids (6 and 7) there is a difference between isolated incidents and bullying so they know when to involve adults.  At home I sometimes play "bad guy" with them to see how they handle me "picking" on them.  But what more can you do?  It's rough.  You don't want to neglect your child but you don't wanna make a baby of him either.  Just look for a balance.  Ask how school goes each day.  If there's a problem, ask how he solved it and if he's happy with the resolution.  If he's cool and there's no harm done, leave it alone.  He has to find ways to sharpen his coping skills.

Btw, my son can't wait for to be school to over too.  That may be a boy thing.  My daughter actually cries when we talk about summer vacation because she'll miss her teacher so much, lol.
