DD has started reception. She is very outgoing and settled in well. This is great, however because she is confident and has gone in without much fuss it gives everyone a false sense that she is fine and they don't need to do anything different because she doesn't have any obvious issues from being adopted.
On Friday she came home and told me she'd been 'on amber.' On further questioning this appears to be the same as time out, and was apparently because she was messing about with a hula-hoop and accidentally hit another child with it. School did not communicate with me at all about this.
DD was off school sick yesterday. Today she was very clingy going into school having previously been fine. I can only assume this is because of being in time out on Friday.
I need to address with the teacher that time out is not great for an adopted child, without seeming to say I think DD should be able to get away with anything without consequence. I'm also not impressed that they didn't tell me about it. Any words of wisdom from those who have been there done that? School is a whole new world to me as a parent and I need to know how to get what DD needs without pissing off all the staff along the way!
