Please gentle with me, first time poster and looking for advice.
My dd is 9. She’s always been very loud and confident but since starting school she’s really gone into her shell. At her first school she was bullied so i moved her. She was fine at her second school but then dh got a new job so we moved area. The school she at now is where she has been since year 2, now in year 4. It’s a small village school with less than 100 children, only 7 in her year. She is finding socially things are tough, mostly as there so few others children. I’ve spoken to school repeatedly but nothing is done. She was horrendously bullied last year. The bully has now left. Two of the other children in her year have ASD. This isn’t a problem, my DS who is 13 has ASD so I completely understand all the issues but dd feels a bit swamped by ASD. I’ve had her assessed for ASD given ds’s DX but she’s NT. Anyway, this school isn’t the closest to us, it’s about 6 miles from our home. So I’ve put her name down for our local school which is currently full but I’m hopeful there might be a place eventually for dd.
Dh doesn’t want dd to move school again. He likes the smallness of her current school but I’m weary of it all. She often clings to me at drop off and comes out in tears. Teachers aren’t too interested, including the Head. Dd says she feels invisible when she’s at school. Dd is happy to move and I’m happy to move her should we get the chance and if she wants to go. WIBU to move her again?
I’m not very confident in myself andi also have anxiety. I find decision making difficult so I’m turning to the wisdom of MN.
