[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might it be better to have a one-on-one talk with a couple selected teachers DD likes? Rather than put this in writing to all teachers, which means it could end up in her student file, draw too much attention from counseling, and maybe make teachers perceive her differently afterward?[/quote]

Oh dear God thus fear of some sort of file following your child through life is ridiculous . They can't help if you don't speak up and they absolutely will keep the information confidential. They do this all the time. They are right now helping various classmates if your DC's with all sorts of issues, large and small, and you are completely unaware.

If she's missing a lot of school they've noticed. And they've seen this before, a lot. Letting them know and receiving feedback is a great idea.

And while some posters shriek at the mention of professional help, keep in the back of your mind the possibility of something larger going on. All kids complain about going to school every once in a while but it is not typical to become physically ill at the prospect of going to school. [/quote]
