Hi there, iI need some advice and wondered if anyone has been through the same....
My 4 year old (just at the end of August) started school 2 weeks ago. She does not seem to be coping very well. She seems to be getting used to it through the day - she says that she doesn't want to go but when I collect her at the end of the day she says she has had some fun. The problem is at bedtime and at night. She does not want us to leave her room, crying and calling us back for silly reasons like to pass us her drink etc.
It is horrible to see her so distressed. Last night she wet the bed - something she has only done maybe once or twice in her life andcewrtainly not recently, and couldn't go back to sleep for crying for approx 3 hours. I have tried to give her more attention in the day to make up for her being at school to make sure that she isn't missing out on love but it doesn't seem to help. I resisted getting bed with her as I know that would make things worse in the long run.
I would just like the reassurance that other people have been through this as most other kids at school seem fine and any advice would be very well received. I don't think it helps that I am on maternity leave and am at home with her little sister all day but I can't do anything about that :( I am lost x
