My once happy 10 yr dd has become a really unhappy girl.
Apart from the general moodiness & bit of attitude, the main problem, the real problem is this awful floods of tears we have nearly every morning before school. It's been happening, on & off for around 6 weeks. She'll blame her stomach, her checks or her throat, something is hurting & she can't go to school. Some mornings she won't be too bad, she'll just ask a 1000 times over 'will I be ok?' Become teary but ok. Other mornings, she'll fall apart & be in such a state, she'll have like panic attacks.
I've been to the school twice & spoken with her teacher & like a family liaison person. DD swears there is no one bullying her, she have many friends & I work at the school part time, so this is the thing, when I see her there, she's fine, she'll say that she's not feeling great, but she's not crying & she's actually ok.
She's ok at home, on a nighttime she'll say that something hurts & ask if she'll be ok for school the next day. So it's the build up to school. She's doing brilliant with her schoolwork, always has done.
We have a 6 yr old son, so it's not great for him to see this every morning. I'm beginning to feel totally exhausted by it all, I'm starting to get dizzy spells! I've already taken dd to the doctors about her tummy pains, there wasn't anything there.
I just want my happy dd back, when she was happy to go to school (she's in Y5) it's heartbreaking seeing her like this ??
