Single parent to 14 yr old.
We don’t have much money, don’t go on holiday, can’t afford for DD to go on school residential trips (s. Africa, skiing, Iceland) related to her gcse courses. Don’t want violins- I am more than aware that many children/teens will miss out on these things.
But what really really annoys me is that even though her school teachers and gym coach etc know she often misses out on the experiences her peers have enjoyed, she never gets chosen for the free limited space trips- theatre trips, new classes (when they have always said she has a natural aptitude for all things gymnastics and dance related), funded days out (like through the schools jack petchy award) etc etc
....it’s really getting on my nerves and it’s upsetting her so much!
She’s such a well behaved, well mannered child. Always has been. School reports have always backed this up. So it’s def not her behaviour that is the issue.
I think that as she is so quiet she is constantly overlooked.
How can I get her noticed? How do I get her to get herself noticed?
