DD 15 is point blank refusing school and I have no idea what to do. She is at risk of exclusion from school and struggles with academic work, she has ADHD and has a very limited concentration which in turn means she is 4-5 years below expected levels at her age. Due to this she can be very defensive and oppositional at school to avoid work. It's always been a battle getting her into school and her attendance is 80%. Since half term she has point blank refused to go in, during half term she fell out with her friendship group who have been busy poisoning most of DDs year on her. She has no friends from her school at the moment and is very fearful of going in and sitting alone whilst everyone is talking about her and any conversation about it leads to tears shouting and then leaving the house. I took her to the GP for advice and didn't really get any, we have camhs next week but what do I do in the mean time ?!
