I worry that my sensitive son won’t cope in secondary school

w

THE QUESTION:

I have an 11-year-old son who is very immature and over-sensitive for his age. If something doesn’t go his way, he breaks down in tears. He’ll do this anywhere, even in school, in front of his friends. I’m amazed they don’t tease him about it. He is the eldest of four children and honestly, his nine-year-old sister is more hardy than he is. I worry he’ll be more of a target next year when he starts secondary school so want to know how to help him before then.
