Homeschool
So our daughter started preschool in August (2 days a week). She has told us lots of times she doesn’t want to go, she says she has no friends, and she doesn’t talk to anyone. We have emailed her teacher back in October and her teacher had said she is very shy but super sweet. Then the week before thanksgiving she actually had an accident at school. She peed in her seat she told us and she didn’t tell anyone. We were both shocked at the fact she had peed and neither teacher knew it happened (2 teachers and sometimes an aid in room). She was really upset and we explained it’s okay to have accidents but she has to speak up and get cleaned up. She couldn’t remember when it had happened either which is what really upset us. So we emailed her teacher again and teach said she was not aware it had happened and apologized. After this incident they were on break and we had parent teacher conferences. At the conference my daughters teacher told us that she does NOT talk at all…. To the extreme that she literally points at objects if she wants something and that she doesn’t speak to any of the kids except 2 that we are actually friends with their parents. I cried on the way home because of feeling so bad about the fact our daughter is going 6 hours a day without speaking… which explains why she seems to be acting out so much lately at home. (Not listening, screaming, rough housing). We had a long talk again and actually spoke to her teacher over the phone explaining to her she is allowed to talk at school (she told us she doesn’t want to get in trouble by her teacher). Her teacher also told her she is allowed to talk. Well fast forward to now… she has gone to school almost 4 times and now her teacher is emailing up saying that she is crying multiple times throughout the day and the only thing she will tell the teacher is that “she doesn’t feel good because she misses mommy and daddy.” We tried making a “special” bracelet together and perfume (lavender) for her to look at touch smell if she feels sad and it could help her feel better. But yesterday when she got home she said it didn’t work and that she was crying super hard 3 different times. We hate putting her thru this and hubby and I have both said that we are open to homeschooling but we felt if she excelled at this school then she’d just go to public schools. We are trying to figure out what is best for our daughter and I am looking for advice from anyone else that has experienced anything similar or just advice in general…. I just want my daughter back. She has just been acting so different ever since she started and my husband and I have both seen it….
