[quote=Anonymous]To OP - I'm sorry the school year wasn't a smooth one for your DC.

I wish more teacher's realized that "going to the bathroom" a lot during the day, is a sign of anxiety.

I didn't know at the time but my very shy and quiet older daughter was going to the bathroom at school up to 6 times a day for most of the school year.  She would spend a good 20-30 minutes in the bathroom at home several times a day, too.  I thought it was because she was trying to get some peace and quite from her younger sister, but it was actually stress and anxiety from school.  Once the school year was over and the stress of that environment was gone, she immediately went back to using the bathroom 3-4 times a day.  Now as a middle schooler, when she's in the bathroom often, I know she's stressed and I give her some more TLC and encourage her to talk about stuff.

When younger DD started using the bathroom often at school (first grade), the teacher alerted me.  I knew it was stress as this teacher was a tough-ass.  The teacher, at my suggestion, did a few things in the class to ease my DDs stress and anxiety.

I hope next fall is better for you and your sons....
