My lovely daughter is telling me that she is feeling stressed and doesn’t want to go to school.
when I ask her more about it, it doesn’t seem to be about work or friendships. She’s doing wel academically and gets on well with other kids (though missing some close friends after their class moved). She’s finding it hard to articulate but it seems to be that she’s finding it hard to stop fidgeting/ is worried about being distracted by or distracting other children. She did say she thought she might be ‘sensory’ (which I think is her term for kids with additional needs who are allowed things like support toys/fidgets in the class with them).
Im also wondering if it might be hormonal, she has always been tall for her age and has some underarm hair/needs to use deoderant.
My OH had a quick word with the teacher at drop off as my daughter wanted her to know. We’ve also just started a think where she writes down what’s on her mind and then I write a ‘response’ overnight, which she seems to like.
but I was wondering if anyone had been through anything similar/had any advice about how I can help her?
thank you
