Children struggling at school

Hazelnutz · #1 07-09-2008, 12:41 PM

Hi all, is there anyone else out there who have children under SENCO at school? Do feel like i'm the only one sometimes! And does anyone have advice on how to get the children to stay focused on their homework? I do all the usual, up the table, no tv on etc. Their school reports came in this week and whilst they are progressing it is still at a level considered "below average", its upsetting and frustrating to say the least. Am I just putting too much emphasis on their grades? Or do i need worry?! x

my younger brother is the same. hes not progressing enough at school have kept him bk another year.hes 8 he still cant read or write or do the most basic of things. his concentration span is very short.weve tried to do as much as we can with him at home to help.it dont seem to be making much difference. it is very frustrating just just keep up what ur doing they will get there.its tough i no! x

My 6 year old son is being put on one as of September, mainly for his literacy and poor concentration skills, so I would also be interested to hear others views

my brother has been on it 4 a yr.he has a small class of about 10 children and they have there own little playground. it is helping him but hes just slower then alot picking things up.he loves it there! the school have said that he is happier there and he gets the one on one he needs! before he went there he didn't had any friends,he walked the playground alone everyday.but now he has lots of friends and his behavier has improved alot.
