I wonder if anyone can help. I’m abit worried about my 5yr olds behaviour. During the 6 weeks she stayed with my mum and dad, had a couple of weeks at holiday club and then I was off and so was her dad. Her routine was obviously out of whack due to being off for a period of time which has never happened previously as she had just finished reception.
she began worrying about things, worrying about going holiday club, worrying about staying at my mum n dads (even though she’s done this a lot) she’s never stayed there for a week though but she did this time.
she appears to be quiet and withdrawn at times, not with me or her dad, but she’s quiet when she sees my mum and dad, barely says hello just holds onto me. Since starting back at school she is very clingy with me and emotional, crying at breakfast club drop off, doesn’t want to leave me.
i brought her a worry monster and have had a chat with her teacher about my concerns. Her teacher has advised he is VERY emotional and always says she misses me and wants me.
we are on week 4 of school and back to routine, and just this morning she was quiet and weird when my mum n dad arrived (they take her to school on a Monday) she also cried when I left. I’m not sure what’s going on, it’s like she’s got major separation anxiety all of sudden which began in the holidays.
On Saturday I went to dinner with my friend and she didn’t want me to leave her with her dad even! I’m abit at a loss on why this has happened and how I can help? I brought her a worry monster so she can draw her worries etc but it’s upsetting my mum n dad that she’s not the cheeky happy child she was. Upsetting me because I don’t want her to be sad but I don’t know how to help.
anyone had any experience with this? Thankyou x
