having difficulty with my son in going to school.. every week sure will throw tantrum and say don't want to go school.. in the morning we sent to my MIL house and from there my mother will pick him up and send to school.. when he don't want to go he will refuse to wear schoool clothes and cry .. he'll even run out of the house in the compound to avoid wearing school clothes... usually everybody gives up and he gets a day off school ..
at first i thought coz he is going to chinese school and we are a English speaking household. though my MIL speaks to him in Mandarin.. thought coz he can't follow lessons but he is not the only one in his class with this background though.. he seems happy when i pick him up in school .. talking about happenings in school.. he doesn't seem to be bullied.. its just that period of getting him to school.. once there he seems ok..
*sigh* rant over
How old is your son? You need to be firm with him. at first i thought coz he is going to chinese school and we are a English speaking household. though my MIL speaks to him in Mandarin.. thought coz he can't follow lessons but he is not the only one in his class with this background though.. he seems happy when i pick him up in school .. talking about happenings in school.. he doesn't seem to be bullied.. its just that period of getting him to school.. once there he seems ok..

This "usually everybody gives up and he gets a day off school" he knows will happens when he throws tantrum. That's why he does it.
My 3 yo daughter does that the 1st week of pre-school. Had a chat with her so that she understands she needs to go to school while we work.
We also did a reward system where she gets a heart if she's good the day (no crying, tantrums, etc) for every day for the whole month, she'll get a reward that she likes.
Now she happily goes down from the car with her teacher to school. But she throws a tantrum or cry once a while as she doesn't want to go to school but we didn't give an off day from school. We just drop her her at the pre-school while she's crying so that she knows she will still need to attend school no matter what. This part you have to be very firm and not give in to your son's crying. Anyway, my daughter stops crying after we left and the teachers will take care of her and she'll start playing with her friends.
Actually, kids nowadays are very smart, they pick up things very fast. My daughter speaks Hakka (from my side), Cantonese (from her mom side) and Mandarin (in school) & English (in school and Youtube Kids). BTW I'm English educated and my wife is Chinese educated.
Plan to send her to Chinese school when she's older.
