...given so much schoolwork? Today i had to follow him in the bus just to reassure him.
 
You should not punish him like that guy up there said you should help him with his homework since that is what this is all about study your son or daughters notes so you can be ready to help her with her homework that and you will be reminded of things you may have learned in school it will be good for the two of you!
 
Is school too hard for him/her?

From what I have heard kindergarten is no longer a place to learn about learning as fun but more work, work work.

Or it may just be too much work for him/her.

5yr olds don't need to have piles of school or work piles of homework.

You are only young once and I feel that kids are just losing that time. Worst of all a lot of schools are failing. I feel this is due to pushing kids more & more.

Kids need to be kids.

Your poor 5yr old may be stressed out.
 
Consistency. Awards. Punishment.

Consistency - Have a bed time. Small children need about 10 hours of sleep at night. My 5 year old goes to bed at 8:30 and wakes up at 6:30. Have a homework time. Have a play time, bath time, and keep meals about the same time also. This keeps the child in a school like structure and keeps his mind and body healthy.

Award him for doing well with stickers, small toys, candy, or other objects of affection. I give my son a little bit of money that he saves in a can and then take him shopping once a month.

Punish him by taking things away. My son knows that if he gets in trouble on the bus he can't play on the computer.

Sometimes kids need to understand that their are some things they just have to do whether they like it or not. School may be one of them.
