And I guess the other question is, how do we help her in a future where she won't any friends? I would never let my child be friends with someone who was kicked out of school, so I am sure the parents in her new public will feel the same.

How would other parents know she'd been kicked out? Also, how does this experience not teach you that some kids who need to leave a school are good kids who deserve friends?

Have you tried medicating for the anxiety? If it's severe enough to be leading to a school placement, then medication and therapy are probably warranted.

No, two different psychiatrists said meds weren't warranted and refused to prescribe.

They would know she was kicked out because 5th grade (next year) isn't an entrance/outplacement year.

Tell your kid you’re broke and can’t pay for private if she doesn’t know how to act. No one will ever ask any questions

OP says it's not a mental illness or it is.

OP punishes their kid for the very age appropriate, normal resistance to practicing piano. If she doesn't want to practice you either decide not to care or decide to stop because she's just not into it which is ok!

OP says she was kicked out for behavior that sounded pretty innocuous. I attended private school and nobody was kicked out for stuff like this. If the behavior is this bad to warrant the school kicking out the child then there is absolutely an underlying mental illness issue that needs to be addressed.

OP needs parenting classes and the child needs a therapist.

It doesn’t make sense because OP is obviously trolling.
