Being a very sensitive soul myself I totally understand his anxiety about starting school again. I think it is wonderful that you know your kids so well. It will be so great for him to have you as a support over the years, someone who really understands and gets him. In our society we put so much emphasis on what's 'normal' it makes me want to scream. Joe sounds perfectly healthy to me. He feels more than other people - to me this is a gift and we should all be so lucky to know this beautiful little soul.

Years later he told me, "I wish I had just left him alone. He was just sensitive." I was that way some, too.

My lad has a soft soul underneath the brashness of manhood. When he was a nursery school he would cry and cling and I would go to work worried sick. One day the nursery nurse told me to look through the window on my way out. I did. My very tearful lad was no longer tearful, he was laughing his socks off as he scrambled up the climbing frame. It cured me. My advice to you is to relax and enjoy everything as it comes. Hugs for a special Mum.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.com
