My dd has just got into juniors and this past week she has cried every day not wanting to go to school. This is not like her at all, she’s always loved going to school.
She is a bit of a worrier and always asks if things are going to be ok.
Ive asked her why she’s getting upset at school and she told me she misses me.
Shes worried if she needs to go to the toilet (poo) and she can’t clean her bottom right. She can do it at home so I told her you will be fine.
She does sometimes get constipated at home and I sit in the bathroom with her when she is and she says she’s worried if that happens at school and she needs me. That makes her upset and makes her miss me.
I had to leave work early last week due to a phone call from school. She’d told them she’d been sick at home that morning, and she hadn’t. She’s crying in bed at night worrying about school the next morning and then we have tears in the morning as well.
Yesterday she hid my car keys in the house because she thought if I couldn’t find me keys then she wouldn’t have to go to school Monday.
Anyone have any advice what I can do? Like I say she’s never been like this before. I’m not sire if it’s going back after the 6 week holiday and also going into juniors which is a change for her that’s making her like this
