the first day of school he was ok, but the next two he was already unhappy about school a bit. Firday he stayed home with a stomach ache. He gets them all the time at school. I am sure they are anxiety-related. Really need to talk with his counselor about this, as I don't want to go the same route as last year with absence after absence.
