Hi, I wanted to share this story with you in case any of you ever find yourself in this situation.

At the end of last year my son's teacher informed me that the school felt Jack would need to repeat the year.  He hadn't been able to get all of his work done and they felt he would struggle if he went up with the rest of the class.

I was devasted.  I though somehow I had failed him.  Now, I'm a Life Coach and a law of attraction practitioner (which means I know how to create my ideal life).  How could this have happened?

Well, we're now a few weeks into the new school year and I know excactly why this happened.  What a change.  My son is so much happier than ever before and so confident.  He's getting all his work done in plenty of time and thoroughly enoying school life.  He's now the kid everyone wants to play with and I know this was the best thing that could have happened to him.

So please, If this happens to you, just go with the flow.  Trust the schools opinion and you'll more than likely be so grateful it happened and your child will come on leaps and bounds in all areas. 

There is no stigma attatched, like there is in UK.  It's no big deal and many of the spanish kids repeat at some stage too.  It's just how it works here.  I wanted to share this experience with you to save any heartache in the future.

 Best wishes

Hello Wendy,

Welcome to the forum.

What a lovely experience to share. It 's so true, sometimes we can get so fixed on what is the average, the expected, what everyone else is doing. We are human beings!! All different, all with different gifts to share. You obviously always want the best for your child and the universe delivered exactly what was best for him. More importantly, as his responsible carer you allowed it to happen.

Thanks for posting this because as you say, all of us parents can get a bit fixed on following the system - it suits most children but not all.

Best Wishes

Christine
