Hi, my name is Sam and i have an 8yr old daughter, we live in E
London. She is currently in year 4 in a school she has only been at
since december. We moved her because we weren't happy with many
aspects of the previous school and she was becoming progressively
miserable with the place. She seemed to be learning less and wasn't
being challenges enough, the class teacher had her favorites and it
was noticable to everyone else. She was also having some problems
with bullying, nothing major but bullying all the same. The schools
attitude was to get the children together and talk about their
differences! It didn't work.
She is now in a school much closer to home and her initial couple of
weeks were very encouraging. She seemed really happy there, even
though she was bullied after a couple of days there, it was handled
promptly by the school and it stopped. She still wanted to go to
school. Home life was a different story though. She became
argumentative, tearful and nothing could be done to please her or
comfort her.She became so aggressive about everything. Over the
Christmas break we had our happy, loving daughter back for a short
time but we soon lost her again when she returned to school.
She has become verbally and physically agressive (mainly towards me,
sometimes the cat, but rarely her dad) She jumps down your throat
over the smallest thing and is very angry and miserable all the time.
For the last 2 weeks she has cried almost every day before school and
complained of stomach ache. The school don't help, they just tell her
to get on with it and send her back to class.
She got involved with the wrong children when she started there and
about a month ago got herself into serious trouble which involved the
police. She realised she had done wrong and apologised and as far as
everyone is concerned it is all forgotten. But now the other child
who she got in trouble with is making her life miserable insisting
that she play with her and her older sister is also picking on her
too now. The school are aware and i'm waiting to see what is going to
be done about it but i don't hold out much hope. Its breaking my
heart seeing her so unhappy every day and of course it isn't doing
much for home life

Do you think HE is the answer? Sorry it was so long
