Hi ,
My daughter is 3 years and 9 months old and has been going to nursery school since April. Suddenly in the last 2 weeks she's developed Separation Anxiety at drop off and in school . 3 Teachers have asked if every thing is okay as its so unlike her, she used to be such a confident little girl . She's been crying at drop off for 2 weeks but now hearing she's crying in school alot is worrying . She's saying she hates school , doesn't want to go keeps asking all weekend how long until school etc .. We've asked what's wrong and she just says she misses me . We had a good chat on the weekend and she did mention 3 certain kids being boisterous . I did wonder if she's heard me and her dad talking about an upcoming operation I'm having so talked about that with her too but she didn't seem phased about that at all . She did mention lunch times and that she doesn't want to eat in school she hates the dinners and her packed lunch and dropped her food one day so is worried .
It's not just school as she screamed for 3 hours when my mum had her Friday and she's used to my mum she used to have her everyday for a few hours .
She didn't want to go to swimming lessons on Saturday.. even though I'm in the pool with her holding onto her
I have a meeting with her teacher tomorrow to discuss everything particularly the dinner time thing and the 3 other children .
Does anyone have any advice or been through this . I'm worried about her and miss my happy confident girl .
Thanks
