Has anyone else come up against this problem? My friend's DD has started a new school this year. It is a private one with relatively low class numbers and it was one DD wanted to go to. However, after the first day she has refused to go and literally screams the place down saying things like "they are going to kill me". We have tried everything possible to get her there. Some days she will go but within minutes of being there she kicks off again. This has been going on for the last 2.5 weeks now and everyone is at the end of their tether. Meanwhile DD's education is going 'to pot'. Has anyone got any good advice? Should she be kept home and nurtured through this (will she ever go to school) or should she be made to go (after all we all need education and to socialise)?
