We got a letter home from school today saying they would like to get a guidance counsellor in for Ethan (8) As he has low self esteem


I am sitting here feeling like the worst parent in the world.. I feel like I have done something wrong by him

I know I am busy with the other kids and do tend to let Ethan do more for himself then I would normally or maybe the things I get him to do are normal things..

I feel like I have done wrong by him by having 4 children which is silly but I feel like I don't have enough time for him. I try to make the time I really do but to be honest usually by the time I have finished what I need to do with the other kids I am tired.

I worry I should have really pushed the issue with this bullying at school more instead of letting it go and letting the school deal with it. We have approached them numerous times about this one kid. The response is always the same.. They just don't get on (no sh*t sherlock) and they need to work together..

Has anyone elses children ever had Low Self esteem? and what did you do..

Tonight I sent an email off to Boy scouts hoping that something like that might be fun for him.. He does Touch Footy on Wednesdays as well.. but other then that no other out of school activities..

agh I feel so bad..
