i need your help-anything I should take/ask?

[Cocolove]

I have a letter from the school teacher and a list of things she does
the list
Very angry/emotional
Clenches fists alot
Makes random squeely noises
Covers ears in loud noises
Lack of concentration
Lack of memory
Frustration expressed with anger
struggles to maintain conversation
Will often refuse eye contact
Obsessive interest in dying/death & cancer
Craves social attention with children yet at the same time seems to think they hate her.

I think ive coverd everything, should I ask questions? i dont know what to ask?
I am so scared of going there and being sent home and told she is normal coz instinct tells me otherwise

to start off with!

I'm not sure quite what you are asking? Is the list from the teacher? Is this what she has observed at school and is now asking you in for a meeting? If this is the situation then they obviously have concerns and most probably won't just send you away with an "everything is normal" - it sounds like they will be looking to further investigate your DD and her behaviours that are causing concern. They may refer her to the school counsellor or ask you to seek a referral to Paed or child psych or other outside specialist. They may be looking for your advice about what works at home etc. They may also be wondering if there are any issues at home that may be contributing - so be prepared for them to be a bit nosy

If this was my child I would be asking how she compares to other children in the class socially and academically, the behaviours may or may not be affecting her progress academically. Whether this behaviour is getting better or worse or better or worse in certain situations/times etc. I would also be asking how they plan to help your DD manage her behaviours/emotions/anxieties. What resources does the school have available to help your DD?

I wish you all the best and hope you can get some help to figure out whats going on and how to deal with it.


ETA: Sorry just saw your other post - you are off to a paed? My advice is therefore - follw your mummy instincts and don't take no (or no advice/assistance) for an answer!
