That's it really ? How do you know ?
My DD is in reception and keeps saying she doesn't like school and asking to go to another one which we pass on the way to school. She is also always saying that this child or that child has said something mean to her, or done something ! Yesterday apparently "x" wanted the charm of my dd's pencil case so "y" just ripped it off and gave it to "x". DD brought the now broken charm home in her pocket but was quite upset about it. I mentioned it to the teacher this morning and she said she will talk about it in "group time today".
It's not that she is terribly unhappy - I just feel she could and should be happier ! her behaviour at home is also pretty bad and I wonder whether this is a result of not being happy at school ?
Also - she seems to be a bit of a floater - ie. she doesn't have her own best friend at school - she seems to be part of a threesome and is often on the outside of it.
I have made an appointment to see the other school next week - it is also private - and I am seriously thinking of moving her next academic year - but am I over-reacting ? Will she just repeat the same pattern there ?
I don't know - I want her to be happy and enjoy school - but on the other hand I just don't know !!
Wise Mummies - tell me what you think ! She is 5 and a bit by the way and quite a quiet shy girl at school - but extrovert and hysterical outside of it !
