5 year old dd has been at school 6 months. Suddenly she is crying and saying she doesn't want to go to school, she hates school, the day is too long etc. I have had a quiet word with her teacher and there are no problems, she is in all the top groups ability-wise, has a circle of nice friends and recently got a certificate at assembly for all-round effort! It is a lovely school and we actually moved to the area partly for the school. I don't work so she isn't in before or after school care, so her day is short compared to many.

Has anyone else had this experience? Is it just a matter of the 'honeymoon' being over?

Hmm... is there some friendship drama bothering her? Any changes coming up that could be worrying her, i.e. new teacher, friends moving, trips?

If you still think there is no problem, best just reassure her that school is lots of fun, she'll have a great time, etc. Can she help cover new books, pick out an outfit, or something like that to get her excited?
