My child may repeat a grade. How can I tell them and help them?

My son is in 4th grade and in a new school and while he is making progress on his self-confidence, his grades have really suffered. The conversation now is that he will be repeating fourth grade. I’ve called a lot of tutoring places and everyone is on a wait list so it’s obviously a big problem. How can my husband and I have a conversation with him without his self-confidence suffering?
