I have an 8 year old girl and I'm worried she is suffering with anxiety or just extremely lacks in confidence to the point it's affecting her school work. We recently had parents evening and was told she doesn't do anything for herself she either waits for someone to answer a question or she looks to copy someone else and that she is quite far behind everyone else. But I know she can do what the teachers ask of her, at home she is always reading, writing doing sums and answering questions, but at school she acts like she can't even write her name. The teacher says when she asks her to do something or asks a question, she just looks at her. I go back to the anxiety because she worries about a lot, and about things a girl of 8 shouldn't worry about. If she has something on her face or a tiny drop of food on her clothes on the way to school, there is such a look of worry on her face, would be much appreciated if anyone could give me advise, thank you.
