Please help. I am torn apart with worry and regret to the point I can hardly function ...and have no one to turn to...
My 5 year old daughter was struggling in school – she hadn’t seemed to have made any friends and didn’t seem to fit in somehow- I put it down to a bad crowd. So at the beginning of Year 1 I moved her to another school hoping it would give her a fresh start and a better chance to make friends… but it has been the same story – and she seems to want to go back to her old school. She is very distractable and I have always worried she may have ADD – the new school is very strict and seems like less of a happy place.
I am worried I moved her to somewhere worse – when it wasn’t the school but was underlying issues with her… I cannot live with myself for this misjudgement.
I also want to understand what is wrong with her- why cant she make friends? Why is she different somehow to them? And why is she so fidgety and distractible? I want to be able to help her – but I have no idea how..
Also will this stricter environment just be soul crushing for an ADD/spirited child? or could it be a positive thing
Please help – any advice would be greatly appreciated
