Any helpful advice would be great. I have a 7 yr old who has decided that she doesn't want to go to school. She says she lies her teacher but that all the kids are mean to her. Everyday we have a screaming fit about going and when I get her there they have to literally pry her away from me. Last year she couldn't wait to get to school now it is the complete opposite.

my son went through the same thing several years ago. sometimes, a child needs their parent along side to feel protected and safe...her clinging to you and not wanting to separate...sounds fearful. i would definately set time aside to spend a few days with your daughter in her school situation to find out what's up. her perception of what is going on is what is true to her, and that truth is upsetting her. if you are there to witness her day and see how she gets along there, you'll have a better idea of what's going on to cause her worries. my son was right...they were picking on him and the teacher was just letting it happen. if i hadn't witnessed it first hand, i wouldn't have known how to help him work through it. you have every legal right to be there, too. also, just having you visit, will give her an opportunity to proudly show you her work, friends and school. the best of luck to you and your child

I know exactly what you are going through. My son did the same thing. But there was someone bullying him. He ended up failing that year for missed days in school. And guess what so did the bully. But it finally ended when he stood up to this boy and ended up beating the tar out of him. It wasn't before the little boy threatened that he had a knife and was going to stab my son. When my son told he was told to go back to class and to stop tattling. When my husband and I went up there the next morning the little boy was still there and they had not even done anything. They said that his mother would come to the school mad and curse them. Well lets just say that when I heard that they then had to deal with this mom. So you may want to check into this situation. It could seriously get worse. Good Luck

kids are so mean my son is 9 and he would say the same thing and it was so hard to make him go to school i would cry but i talk to the teacher and told her what was going on and it stop but i did not do it in front of him and ask him what was the names of the kids that was making fun of him and if that does not work go above the teacher because school should be a happy place for your child to be maybe they could put her in a different class and have a new teacher and kids but if it continues the maybe u should consider home school if possible hope i helped

You should try and find out what happened at the school I think some one might have hurt her in some way. Or said something to really upset her. If so try and find out don't yell at her try and get her to talk. Something has got her scared.
