everyday she tells the nurse at school that she feels ill. she uses her book to tell them she is worried about what is wrong. says her tummy hurts and she feels sick. we have had "the chat" she is eating fine(loads) and no temp.
I am getting so pissed of with this.

does she hate school?

jinglebells2shoessmells · 18/12/2007 12:38

I would guess she does have anxiety about school. My eldest (NT) seemed happy at school but had lots of headaches or exploded at me in the evening. She said she was happy but when I took her out it turns out that she wasn't really.
Not desperately unhappy or being bullied, but a sort of low level unhappiness linked to the pressures of school.

Have her periods started? If they have, or are about to, maybe its period pains she is experiencing.

no she is not unhappy at school. quite the opposite. it is a lovely small school. this year she is in a class with some really "like her" dc's and loves her TA and has made some good freind.
so I think it is more likely the school being a bit too quick to jump when she says jump. I reposted in teens and am now going to ask for a meeting with the TA, nurse, dd and me so we can set some ground rules.
(thank you so much for taking the time to answer me though)

not sure how relevant to your dd as my two are much younger, but sometimes with ds2 just getting any response would make him repeat something.
If you are pretty sure she is genuinely not unwell could you try ignoring it & only responding & giving attention to something positive from her.

On the other hand, she is almost a teenager & a girl I don't think any parent has ever figured them out

jinglebells2shoessmells · 18/12/2007 22:38

tell me about it
