DD1 (12) has just started secondary school. She is struggling so much and I don't know what to do to help her.
I've emailed/spoken to her HoY, DD1 has had a meeting with the pastoral lead. But she spends every evening inconsolable and describes school as torture. None of her primary school friends go to the same school. Every morning she begs and pleads not to go. Delays getting dressed to the last minute.
I've rung the GP today as DD1 thinks she is depressed (not sure she is but certainly suffers with anxiety).
I'm waiting for school to get back to me to set up a meeting with the pastoral lead and HoY.
DD1 is keeping a journal of the bad and not bad things, and scoring the day out of 10, so we can address any specific issues. Any other ideas? Thanks
