A Mother’s Concern: School Complained That Son Always Sleeping in Class
Dear Agony Aunt,
I am writing to you with a heavy heart as I am deeply worried about my son who is studying in secondary school. Recently, I received a complaint from his math teacher stating that my son has been consistently falling asleep during class.
This news has left me feeling anxious and concerned about his well-being and academic performance. I am at a loss for what to do and how to address this issue with my son.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance you could offer to help me support my son through this challenging time.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Mother
Dear Concerned Mother,
I understand your distress regarding your son’s behavior in school, and it’s commendable that you are seeking guidance to address this issue. It’s important to approach this situation with empathy and understanding, as there may be underlying reasons for your son’s behavior.
Firstly, I recommend having an open and honest conversation with your son to understand if there are any underlying issues causing him to feel tired or disengaged during class. It’s essential to create a safe space for him to express his feelings and concerns without judgment.
Additionally, it may be beneficial to schedule a meeting with his math teacher to gain further insight into the situation and collaborate on potential solutions. Together, you can explore strategies to help your son stay attentive and engaged during class, such as adjusting his sleep schedule, identifying any learning challenges, or seeking additional support if needed.
Furthermore, consider establishing a consistent routine at home that prioritizes adequate sleep, healthy meals, and regular physical activity to support your son’s overall well-being and energy levels.
Lastly, reassure your son of your unwavering support and encouragement as he navigates through his academic journey. Let him know that you are there to help him overcome any challenges he may be facing.
Remember, addressing this issue with patience, understanding, and proactive communication can help your son feel supported and empowered to make positive changes. I wish you and your son the best as you work through this concern together.
Warm regards,
Agony Aunt
