My 10 year old dc has recently returned to primary school school after about 15 months (ish) of HE. We are only 2 weeks in and despite me thinking all was going well, it appears dc is not as happy with it as I thought. She has been wetting the bed :( She is struggling a little bit with some of the 'wallies' in class because they are disruptive, not to a huge extent but enough to annoy her.
She is missing the work she did at home, as she says they spend a lot of time doing not a lot, and is really struggling with daft little things, for example, being told to put her coat on when she was running around in the playground. She feels at 10 she is capable of deciding whether she is hot or cold enough to put a coat on. We have missed a couple of our normal evening activities because she is so tired from 'getting up at 7 to do nothing all day'.
I realise we are only 2 weeks in and there will be a lot of adapting to do, new routine, new rules etc, but the bed wetting bothers me because I just don't know where the line is between her finding her feet back at school, or it just being wrong for her full stop.

What does she say she wants to do?
Was the return to school her choice or yours

It was initiated by her dad, but she was happy to go back.
We had taken her out due to bullying, and it was never the intention to do it long term. We have since moved to a Grammar school area, and she seems keen to apply for a place next year, but she certainly doesn't seem entirely happy at the moment.

I'm wondering if she thinks if she comes out of primary, that she can't apply for a Grammar place.
