Ok. I need help and I hope someone out there has a solution. This is not a weighloss problem but I am at my wits end and I really don’t know what else to do. My son started first grade this year. He has always loved school and he did at the first of this year. Our school year started August 6. The first few weeks went great. But about 4 weeks ago or so his stomach started to hurt every night and every morning. This went on then about 3 weeks ago he has started to cry. So I sent the teacher an email we got together with the counselor and she said he has a lot of friends no problems with them, no problems with his work. He is in AC classes. (Accelerated) No problems at all with that. The problem we think is he is pushing himself where he thinks he can’t get anything wrong. (First grade is a lot different now days than when I was in school) We aren’t pushing him we have just tried to teach him to work hard and do the best he can do.  The teachers feel that this is something that he is doing to himself.  My husband and I have talked to him, the teachers have talked to him, the counselor and even his grandmother.  This has been a week and he is still crying not wanting to go to school. It is making it so hard on me. I am to the point I don’t want to get up in the mornings. I know the ordeal we are going to go through. If I feel this way I can only imagine how he feel. My goodness he is only 6 years old. I just don’t know what else to do for him. I hope someone has some ideas. I am clueless. I have done everything I know to do. I just keep encouraging him. Letting him know that we are behind him. The Dr yesterday put him on Zantac 75 for 2 weeks to see if that will help him anyway. But noone really has any ideas what else to do. Thank you for listening. :0)
