Hi all,
My DD is currently in reception at a good, small school where for the first few weeks she seemed settled and happy. The last two weeks before Christmas she began to get very teary and clingy when I dropped her off, even though she seemed to enjoy school when she was there.
The new term started last week - Monday was dreadful and she wanted to come home at lunchtime (I missed the phonecall, to my shame, so she had to stay all day). Tuesday was worse, my DP dropped her off that day. But she stayed all day and seemed to enjoy it. We have been snowed in since then, but today she was meant to go and totally refused.
My question (and I'm not sure if it can be answered) is how do you know which choice to make? I would happily HE and DP, after lots of resistance, has come to see that it is a viable option. However, I want to be fair to DP and tbh it throws me that DD seems to like school when she is there.
I would love to hear any experiences that are even slightly similar. Thanks.

So when did you realise that HE was better than school for your child?
