DD 11 has had more time off school, than she's attended. I have had 2 meetings with the school (The first one being last term to try and organise transition and get them up to scratch etc as I knew DD would find it incredibly difficult).
Fast forward almost 1 month into the school year - Within a matter of days her anxiety grew. She became awful to deal with at home, sais she can't cope, got extremely heartbroken when school was mentioned and refused to talk about school or homeswork.
Things have got worse over the past 2.5 weeks as she's had each day off continuously. She's scared to go into school and been alot calmer in the day. We are awaiting a decision from the LEA on, if they're going to assess/statement her etc.
I have been doing the same school routine each morning and she'll do as she's told, until I ask her to get ready for school, where she gets upset.
Now, I want her to be in school, which is why i've mentioned it each day. However, how do you encourage a child back into school? How often do you talk about school? Do you call/email the school each day with an update? I don't want her to get up and automatically know she's not going to be asked things yet I don't want her to always be in this state - How do I find the balance?
