She was so excited and has been on at me all summer about when she can start school. She was fine last week and really excited, however she told me today that she was upset at lunch-times for the last 3 days. (Nobody has told me about this) From chatting to her,I think she is finding the whole dining hall thing really overwhelming.. She has packed lunches which she enjoys and helps me make them / decide what to have so I know she is not unhappy about that! She was really upset when she got home today and cried for an hour.. Managed to console her but she has woken twice tonight crying about not wanting to go back tmw.... what can I do without being an over-interferring mother???
My plan is (if I can actually get her to school..) is to speak to her teacher tmw about how best to resolve the lunch-time thing as this seems to be mainly on dd's mind (she finds the dining hall very noisy and busy - who can blame her!!) Does anyone have any ideas about how to encourage dd back to school? Has anyone else been in this situation?? Any advise wd be fab then we can all get back on track and get some sleep!!!
Thank you x
