My DD is November born so old in the year. She too was at her pre school for 5 mornings and started the same school full time for reception from day 1 almost 7 weeks ago. She is with exactly the same children she has been with throughout playschool and pre school so I thought she'd be absolutely fine but she's not.
She drags her heels to school. We have tears every morning when she doesn't want me to leave her at school. She's utterly exhausted She will not tell me anything about her day at school. Its like trying to get blood out of a stone and it is so frustrating. She's stroppy, rude with her friends and other people too, its really embarrassing. The small bits she has mentioned about school are to do with feeling bullied and falling out with friends. THe school are keeping an eye on this.
We had a parents evening last night, the school have been very supportive but feel they want to take my lead on this as I know her so much better.
Although she is one of the oldest the school day just seems to long for her and her Dad is having to work super long hours now so has seen much less of them of late.
She seems to be s emotionally insecure and unsettled. Its just not like her and I don't know how to help her.
Does anyone have a similar situation?
Has anyone been there, come out the other side and have any tips?
