[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes kids get like this when they are coming down with something. At another time, ask how school is and if anyone makes her uncomfortable. Try giving her something to look forward to after school. [/quote]

All of this.

I will note it took one of my kids, at age six, a few weeks to tell us that there was a kid in her class who was hitting her daily because she had been assigned a seat next to him on the carpet - kid hit everyone so I wouldn't exactly describe it as bullying unless you say he was bullying the whole class. She was so upset about it that it took her a while to be able to say something. So sometimes you have to gently persist to see if there will be something that eventually comes out.

But then again a different one of my kids, now age 10, also went through a day or two of not wanting to go to school because she was feeling crummy. But she also wanted to go to school because technically she could under the sick policy and she had people she wanted to see and things she needed to do. So she got conflicted. So there was crying. So we had to sort through that.[/quote]
