It’s 8:30am on a Tuesday morning. Liam, a Year 4 student, sits at the kitchen table, pushing his cereal around the bowl. His school bag is packed, but he keeps glancing at the clock, dreading the moment his mum will say it’s time to leave. “Mum, my tummy hurts again,” he whispers. “I don’t think I can go today. What if the teacher asks me to read aloud? What if the other kids laugh at me again?” His mother sighs. She knows Liam has already missed several days this term, but she feels torn. Forcing him out the door usually ends in tears, but letting him stay home only adds to his absences. At the school gate, Liam freezes. His heart races, and he clings tightly to his mother’s arm. Children rush past, calling out to their friends, but for Liam the gate feels like a wall. His teacher, already busy settling the class, doesn’t notice him lingering. After a few minutes, his mum gives in. “Alright, just today,” she says softly. As they walk away, Liam feels relief but also guilt. Tomorrow, the same battle will begin again. perfect, can you now add speech bubbles of what he is thinking? e.g. my tummy is sore, what if the other children will laugh, I miss my mum and dad, I'm scared and alone See more
