Since she went back to school after half term (we had a lovely half term.)
I've tolerated it all week, thinking she's just tired. But now I've had enough. It starts the moment I collect her from after school club, and goes on until bedtime.
She was trying really hard in school before half term, and seemed to have made some great progress. I wondered if she was still trying hard, which is why she was so tired, but she tells me she "can't be bothered to try hard now". I asked what might make her try hard again, and she said "a certificate". Certificates are very hard to come by with the reward system the school have in place atm, and stickers are non existent.
I know if she were behaving like this in school I would have a phone call pretty damn quick, asking what was going on at home to affect her behaviour.
WWYD?
Do I hope it blows over, she's going through a growth spurt?
Do I formally meet with her teacher and the deputy head? (can't have a quick word with teacher as I work full time, and for reasons I won't go into I will only speak with her with the deputy head present).
Or do I have a quick word with the (non teaching) deputy head over the phone?
