12 year old daughter

Hi,

My daughter is 12 and in year 8. She started a new secondary school last October, I had to pull her out of the school she started in yr 7 as something happened and she developed anxiety and school phobia.

I managed to get her into a new school last October (where lots if her old friends from primary were) and it all seemed to be going really well up until a few weeks ago. I started to notice a few warning signs and OCD tendencies creeping back in. She's now back to not going to school, temper tantrums, violent mood swings, lethargy, constant complaining of aches and pains and I just don't know what to do. It gets worse around her time of the month, could it be this? M ashamed to say sometimes I think she's making it all up just to get out of school, please help!!

Can you find her a counsellor? Cahms probably have a huge waiting list although her school pastoral team maybe able to help?

It’s extremely stressful 😞

That sounds so difficult. I agree with the pp though who said to get her checked by the GP Thanks
