Parents of children going into Y6, talk to me about where you& #39;re at with 11+. My son is bright but also highly strung, hard on himself re perceived failure, struggles with exam conditions. We& #39;ve tried lots of things but I& #39;m coming to conclusion it& #39;s not worth the stress for him?

If it had been a normal school year I& #39;ve no doubt he& #39;d have aced it but (bear in mind I have severe adult ADHD across all tested areas) he struggles to focus and apply himself and gets frustrated in exam conditions. We have done -so much- practise but have missed 6mths of classes

Not one of those helicopter parents who has mapped out a career plan from the womb. I didn& #39;t go to uni - left school after GCSEs - he& #39;s so smart it would be a shame for him not to realise his potential. But at the same time there are vocational ways to do that. I& #39;m v conflicted.

Parenting is fucking hard and constantly having to second guess yourself in the hope that you& #39;re doing the right thing for and by this little human is whew. Times like this I wish I had someone to bounce this shit off who would say hey, you& #39;re doing ok
