Following on from my other thread yesterday about dd2's not giving her enough hours 1:1 and me having to take her out at 1pm.
Today i picked dd2 up at 1pm, her face was red (been crying) and she ran towards me with a big smile (only does this when she's had a bad day), SENCO tells me dd2 had been tearfull all day and it got to lunch time and dd2 could not handle the lunch hall and they had to pull her out, as she has no 1:1 the SENCO had to calm her down and i'm guessing she missed her lunch. Today was the x-mas buffet so a slightly different set up, i sent dd2 with her luch box and opted out of the buffet as i didn't want to change her routine but she must have noticed that most of the school where having the buffet.
Tomorrow is the chrismas cook lunch, most of the school are having it including the teachers but again i oppted out as dd2 is used to having her lunch box.
Now the SENCO has asked me if i can pick dd2 up before lunch so she doesn't get upset and so the staff can eat the christmas lunch without having to calm dd2 down. I wasn't happy about this as i had plans to go shopping with my mum tomorrow (something i only do once a year) and now i have to cut it short to pick up dd2 just because they can't be doing with her meltdowns and because they have no 1:1 in place for her.
In her home/school communication book her TA has wrote that 'dd2 was very tearful today, maybe due to the christmas build up and the changes in routine', her TA is great but is only with dd2 for just under 3 hours a day (which is why i take her out early).
Dd2 is now happy as lary now she's home but i am now worried about how she will handle next week with the christmas play's and parties, is it really worth putting her though it? She can't even handle school asembelly without a 1:1 and ear deffenders (and she still gets upset), how the hell is she going to handle the school play?
I have just read lougles thread and i can see dd2 being the same (holding her ears and crying), i don't think me or her could handle the upset of that happening.
Are any of you taking your dc's out a week early?
Any advice?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
