[quote=Anonymous]So my kid says some version of this about 90% of school days. It's usually because she doesn't feel like getting out of bed and getting dressed. There is also an element of "school is boring" which I get especially because I think 2nd grade has been pretty boring for her thus far and might be just a boring grade because it's the last grade of "fundamentals" before they start digging into writing and science and social studies in earnest and doing harder reading and math. We address this by scheduling fun activities for her after school (she is always more motivated on days she gets to go to swimming or ballet or has a playdate). We are teaching her cursive at home this year and I got some Beast Academy workbooks for math because she enjoys them. If she was crying inconsolably I would definitely dig in deeper but if if it was just one morning of that I'd chalk it up to a bad day and move on.[/quote]
