My dd is 8 yrs old and has always had difficulty separating from me when going to nursery and now school. Some days it is better and she goes into school happily but then, just when we think we have cracked it, she gets upset and doesn't want to go into school.
Admittedly it has got better, she used to have to be physically peeled off me 2 years ago, now its usually just tears. This morning she said she hated school and wanted to move to a new school. I spoke to her teacher this morning and she said dd is fine all day in class, occasionally says she misses Mum but generally happy.
I am now thinking maybe its time to seek expert help but not sure where to turn, psychologist maybe?
I should say that dd is a worrier and lacks confidence generally. She started speech and drama lessons in September this year as i thought that might help her.
What do you think?
