Hi, I have had a phone call from DD(6)'s teacher. At first it reminded me of that scene in Parenthood where they are discussing their sons 'tense face'...
She told me that DD has repeatedly been switching off and losing concentration this week, not in a naughty way, but just staring down at her work and pulling a face (like a frowny sort of thing, and screwing up her mouth) I hav seen her do it also when we were doing spellings. I felt really guilty as I said 'That's a funny face!' and she got all tearful and stroppy...
She has been through a lot recently with being put on meds for a heart problem and having to go in an ambulance from school, v. scary. She is pretty healthy right now, and doesn't talk about her problem and is enjoying p.e. again. But why is she doing this face in class suddenly? She doesn't really have any problems with spelling or reading ect but justseems to not be paying attention. Could it be to do with the medication (she is on flecainide).
I tried talking to her about it just now but she denies it and runs off to play again! 6 yr olds!
