Frankie Bridge fought back her emotions as she discussed the struggles she faces when trying to get her youngest child to go to school
Frankie Bridge was emotional as she described her son’s life-changing diagnosis. The singer explained how youngest son Carter’s discovery led him to have an “hour long tearful meltdown”.
She also explained the 11-year-old then refused to go to school. Frankie and former footballer Wayne Bridge share two kids together, Parker, 12, and Carter, 11.
Taking to YouTube to share the struggles, Frankie looked worn down. She revealed she often feels “helpless” in her efforts to look after Carter. She said her feeling comes especially when he refuses to go to class, as the youngster repeatedly asks if he can be home schooled instead.

She told the camera: “Carter had a bit of a meltdown yesterday, about going to school, he cried I’d say at least an hour, which is becoming a new thing, he’s been crying about going back into school quite a lot.
” Just finding it really hard, saying things like “even food tech there’s loads of writing and science and stuff” and it just really breaks my heart. I find it really difficult to keep sending him in every day.
“And I know he’s fine when he gets there, he’s doing so much better but I feel really helpless, and I don’t know what else I can do for him really. I know he wants me to say he can be home-schooled, I don’t think that would work for us, and I think it’s really important for him to socialise. I just don’t think it’s realistic for us as a family, I just don’t know what else I can do for him”.
The Loose Women panelist went on: “I don’t want him to hate the next eight years of his education. I don’t want to have to force him in everyday and just know he’s gonna struggle all day.“I just feel helpless basically. I need to look in to it, I need to talk to the school.”
She later revealed how her conversations with his teachers went. In a follow-up video, Frankie said she told them he needed more help with put in place to combat the issues he faces with dyslexia.
” It’s been a bit of a battle to get him into school, “she confessed”. They just couldn’t be nicer, at the last school it was a complete battle to get them to do anything. But at this school they’re like ‘ right let’s do this’. “
Last year, Frankie admitted her kids online life is a world from what she knew growing up. She said: “”As a parent, it’s a bit overwhelming trying to balance all the things I’m worried about.
” Like gaming, social media, all that stuff I don’t really get. While also remembering that so much of what we do is online now. “
