Hi
I don't know if anyone can help, but I'm at a loss for something to do, so any advice would be gratefully received.
My daughter (who was 5 last week) has been extremely upset, for most of last week, about going to school. She was absolutely fine last term and was looking forward to going back after christmas. From about Wednesday, she has been much quieter than normal, is crying a lot, is very clingy and seems to be feeling ill one minute and fine the next.
She kept telling me she had headaches and she didn't want to go to school, as she didn't like it anymore. We had tears every evening and every morning on the walk to school. Her teacher tells me she has been tearful during the day and has refused to do pe.
I thought she was trying it on with the headaches, but when she got in on Friday she developed a high temperature quite rapidly. I took her to the doctors and he said she had a virus. (no surprise there!!).
I have asked her if there is any problem at school and she says there isn't, she just misses me and wants me to stay. Her teacher is also concerned but has no idea what the problem could be.
We have had tears tonight and she is asleep now, but is very restless and crying in her sleep. I am dreading tomorrow morning and I just can't work out what's going on.
Sorry this is so rambling, but I hope you get the idea.
TIA
