Having a child at school has been quite a big change for us, and it’s one that we’re still getting used to. My lovely, happy little girl who mostly adored nursery and seeing her friends and lovely teachers has become a little girl who I have recently had to physically drag into the school gates half an hour after school has started. A little girl who can’t get to sleep at night because she has too much on her mind, and who whispers the horrible words that her ‘friends’ have said to her that day that have upset her and that she has kept to herself after school has finished until it is a few hours later and she decides to share them with me.
It’s been so hard. Things are happening to her at school that happened to me at the same school, and I hoped she would never have to go through, and it makes my heart hurt so much. The last few weeks have been better overall, but she’s still feeling a lot of emotions about it all, and is still spending far too much time worrying for a five year old. We’ll get through it together though, and we’ll keep working on it until she is happy and secure again.
Is there anything in particular you’d like to add? Let me know in the comments!
Aww! Bless your girl. I’m so sorry she is having a rough time at school…Keep nagging at the teachers letting them know her problems.
It’s so hard for little one’s….It is such a long day. Even my 9 year old has some days when she comes out of school tired.
hehehe I have been doing the school run for about 10 years and I still haven’t got the hang of the mornings. I am not a morning person no matter how hard I try.
