Answer 2

You could home school, but would she do the work? Would she sit down and listen to you? Find out why she hates her school so much, what's bothering her that she doesn't want to go so badly.

Answer 3

well she probably don't know anyone and misses her own friends you know...just give her time try to find someone to help her make friends

Answer 5

yes about the home school check your state regulations.

me personally judge by my child's personality if she has had and event in her life that has separated her from the norm for her she could just not feel secure or safe. i would sit down with her and tell her that you love her no matter what and would do anything for her and that you will always be there for her, make her feel safe, then repeatedly ask her what it is that scares her about going to school till she answers if she feels safe she will confide in you. then in the end  make a deal with her tell her that if she goes to school and tries her hardest to be brave and not cry you will  (reward her) take to the park and the two of you will swing as high as you can, the reward is your call. BUT the most important thing is mom be strong you cry and she assume you have fears and doughts. suck it up in front of her  take deep breath.   good luck

Answer 6

Hmm, Yes she does need to tell you why she does not like her school. Maybe because she misses her old school. And maybe you should let her know how long it you will be there for. Use an incentive thing to maybe get her going again with the school. Home schooling would be O.k but first you should figure out why she is acting the way she is. Good Luck.. Ariel

Answer 7

Personally, I wouldn't homschool unless something is happening.

She needs to learn to adjust, it's hard.

Can you take a lunch break and go have lunch with her?

Can you do it weekly?

She's at that age when she would still like that. It may help her to see someone familiar.

It's hard noone wants their baby to be sad.

Hang in there, She'll adjust.

Answer 8

ya i would home school

Answer 9

She needs to tell you why she hates it and then work with the counselor to work out the problems.  Something more has to be going on here.

Answer 10

Has something happened at another school to make her feel like this. I just found out from my brother that my 7 yr old niece is called joey germs. one kid will touch another kid and say i have joey germs, (my nieces name is joey real name joesphine) she thinks it is funny because my brother has always tried to make it not that big of deal if someone said something mean so they didn't think it was a big deal kids can be brutal

Answer 11

I wouldn't listen to "Emily's" advice...apparently home-schooling doesn't teach how to spell properly.

That being said, have you asked your daughter WHY she doesn't want to go to that school? Has the school told you that she stops crying after you leave? It sounds a bit like separation anxiety to me. When I was in kindergarten and the kids and surroundings were new to me, I cried every single day when my mom dropped me off. It was terrible! Nothing was wrong....it was just NEW. I would finish off the school year....there isn't much of it left. Just support her as much as possible and spend as much one on one time as you can outside of the school.  I'm sure once you are back to familiar surroundings, everything will be fine once more.

Good luck and best wishes!

Answer 12

Yes you can homeschool.

Answer 14

she needs socialization, and you need to be more strict on her, shes old enough to understand, kids go to school, its just what you have to do, dont pull her out of school and give her her way just because she throws a tantrum, find out why shes doing it and stop it.
