i really need help, i need to know where or what im doing wrong.
my daughter has started school at the begining of the year, she is well ahead of her class mates and at a yr 1 level for her words and reading, but she seems to have developed telling stories.
it started out me think its normal and she'd move on, but its just escalated to the point now her teacher has recommended her to see the school councillor.
she says things like she has dreams her and a boy in her class was kissing and she cant get the dream out of her head and she really wants to.
she has been through a bit illness wise and has never been abused but her father and i are in the process of seperating, i know that would be hard but she is getting more attention now than what she did before and im always doing everything i can for them ( i have 2 kids) i am really stressed over what is happening and dont know how i can change it.
she is a beautiful caring girl most of the time but school has really changed her. please help me so i can be a better mum for her.

Why don't you want her to see the councillor?

i dont have a problem with her seeing a councillor, i was thinking about going down that line any way, i just feel like ive done something. all i want is my kids to be happy and im worried shes not and i hate that i cant fix it. i just dont know how, i always believed i could help my kids with anything.

You can help your kid with anything (alsmost) you just need to calm down and think. See the councillor, work out a plan together. She will probably give you more insight.

Being a good mum does not mean your kids will never have a problem, it means that when they do you will be there for them.

She may be making up stories for attention, I have helped out in DS class and a lot of the boys tell fantastic stories about how their dads are racing drivers or astronauts. But no one is concerned about it.

Try not to worry too much. You sound like a good mum to me.
