Hi all
Bit of a long one my dd 11 has not really liked school since year 5 and every morning said she hated it and didnt want to go. We had a lot of support in primary and dd had some screenings done in school wich showed dyslexia and dyscalculia. Fast forward to year 6 and dd really started to struggle, most mornings kicking of because she didn not want to go although she always did go. Dd on a few occasions lashed out and scratched me she got that angry about having to go, pe was a big concern to her as they had to get changed infront of each other it even got to a point on a few occasions on a pe night dd wet the bed.
Lockdown came and so did a change in dds behaviour and attitude, she was so much calmer and happier in herself being at home and seemed back to her old self almost.
In september came high school and it's all gone down hill, dd went ok for the first week but has since started to refuse point blank to go to school gets very angry when I try to persuade swears trashes things in the house. Dd has some days gone in late but chooses to go to an isolation room and sit alone she doesn't want to mix with anyone else she also wont eat in school so goes hungry all day, dd is hardly eating at home her sleeping is terrible with all if this. School are hit and miss with communication and have recently had letters from them threatening to send fines. I have tried the gp explained about schooling eating etc they gave me numbers for me in mind and camhs who I am awaiting to hear from. Dd has always been quite a quiet girl and prefers to be at home but as times going on shes wanting to be home all the time and not mix with kids out of school. Any body been through anything similar and have any advice on what i can do whilst waiting to hear back from cahms?
