7 yo daughter screaming going into school

[Mamatee157]

OK so from my husband and I (her stepdad) Came home from honeymoon my daughter has had this separation anxiety, we have sorted nighttime so I can leave her room but school time is a nightmare! Our morning time routine is normal and she's normal happy girl, on the way to school we do breathing exercises etc and the. When we get to school and the time comes to go into. Her classroom she goes mad! ScreMing blue murder 'mummy don't leave me' and teacher and I are trying to stay calm and encourage her. She loves school and 19 mins after being in class she's fine and comes out in the afternoon all smiles and saying what a great day she's had! She's a very intelligent, confident girl and this only started at the end of her school year last. I don't know what to do please help! Need strategies or ideas! Ive tried mediAtion, and positive thinking exercises etc. Am at a loss!! My heart is broke! Tia

Oh no poor you and your daughter that must be really distressing, I know if my daughter is upset about something and doesn't want to go to school and gets tearful that's hard enough! Are the teachers helping with the situation? My friend had a similar issue last year and the teacher was really good comforting and reassuring her little girl, there wasn't anything wrong at school she just really missed her mum and younger sibling and found leaving them so hard. It took a few months but gradually got better and although she has the odd day being upset she's generally happy going into school now. They talk about how she's feeling at home and before school and plan a kind of treat at the end of the day, like getting an ice cream or going to park if she can take some deep breaths and try to stay calm and brave as she goes in. It's hard after the long summer break, my dd found it hard adjusting to being home after our holiday and was crying at bed time every night saying she missed being on holiday, they're still little and are having big emotions and different phases xx

A 'happy place' on the wall by her desk and she can go to the sensory room if all gets a bit much....I've started aschool star chart at home with different t rewards etc so fingers crossed she starts to get thTschool is fun and nothing to be scared of.
