My DD is about to turn 4. There has been a lot of upheaval in her life over the past year, including the birth of a sibling and moving house, and she doesn't seem to be coping. She is due to start school in august and I think this is also adding to the pressure despite the fact she is really keen to go. She has always loved nursery and has been going since she was 1 but has suddenly begun refusing to go. Unsuccessfully I might add - I have to go to work. She becomes hysterical in the mornings and sobs all the way there. Nursery assure me nothing has happened there and there is no obvious reason for this sudden change in attitude. She complains of headaches and stomach aches on the days she goes to nursery but not any other time. She is now often tearful and her moods swing from upset/angry to hyper and over excited. It is exhausting for everyone, not least herself. Any advice?
