[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter had been in full-day daycare and preschool prior to entering MoCo public K this year. She never had any problems with school before, but she is saying she hates school, doesn't want to go, etc. At first I thought it was just the before/aftercare, but now it seems to be her class too. She has a great teacher and knows a couple kids in her class, but she is seriously anxiety-ridden, crying, clinging to my leg, basically not letting me go. The past two days I had to get the school counselor to take her in. She seems to be okay when I pick her up at aftercare at the end of the day, but then it starts all over again that night and the next morning. I've talked to her about what is bothering her -- one thing was that she hates the lunch period because she does not have time to eat. She asked me to only put a couple things in her lunch, and she is obsessed with being able to open things, so I've been practicing with her and snipping the corners of snack bags, etc. Her anxiety seems to be over random things... like she is afraid to put her backpack in the bin at before care because she is afraid she won't be able to find it in time when it's time to go to class, so she just keeps it on. Things seem to be getting worse going into week three (week one was actually not bad, but things started going downhill last week), and I'm just not sure what to do. I need to go to work, and she needs to go to school. Any advice?[/quote]

Try talking to the teacher, who has probably seen this once or twice during the years. :-) Teach might have some tips.[/quote]
