Dd often becomes tearful at bedtime and leaving for sch. When I try to find out why she often says she doesn't know. She has said a few times that she worries about leaving me, but she cant really explain why. She generally is happy and active and goes to lots of activities usually with lots of enthusiasm. She has struggled with friendships at school so it doesn't always feel like a happy safe place. When she last said that I went with her to speak to dep head so they can start working on strategies in sch - I dont hold out much hope with that though as its all been said before.
When I go to say goodnight to her she just goes sad and starts to well up. It does make me reluctant to go in as it seems to set her off and its like she is looking for things to be sad about. I tend to try and talk about the good points of the day and what will be happening the next.
Has anyone has this with their children? Any suggestions?
