So my daughter started high school going from 300 primary to 3000 in high School. She got massive anxiety I took her to the doctor, he said stop pushing giving her a little time off and try again. So the other the welfare officer came. He said most kids that do this have ODD. I don’t agree with that. She is difficult, she is different but not intentionally defiant.
We need to try again on Monday, she is going in to meet the SEN team and trying to find an approach that makes it easier for her. I know teachers are busy but they’ve just brushed me off mostly. I did keep her off for a week on advise from the doctor but they’ve just brushed think that’s a bad idea and he even told me he knows kids that have lost the use of muscles in thier legs from staying in their room. That’s not what is going on here. She wants to go but she is really scared and now I am really anxious. What if I can’t get her there on Monday? I am not lazy parent, I have always worked and she got top marks in SATs apart from maths.
