FOR WEEKS SHE WENT TO SCHOOL WITH NO PROBLEMS, THEN SUDDENLY SHE STARTED TO CRY EVERY MORNING. SHE SAID A LITTLE BOY WAS BOTHERING HER. WE ADDRESSED THAT PROBLEM. HE DID NOT THINK POPPING HER ON THE ARM SHOULD BE A PROBLEM. ANOTHER BOY TAKES HER SCISSORS OR PAPERS. WE THINK THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. SHE HAS TO HELP THE OTHER KIDS OFTEN ON THEIR CLASS WORK. SHE SAYS SHE IS SCARED, BUT REALLY CAN'T SAY SCARED OF WHAT. AND HER THROAT HURTS HER. THE LOUD NOISE OF THE OTHER CHILDREN SEEMS TO IRRITATE HER EARS. WE HAVE TAKEN HER TO THE DR. AND HE CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SHE IS AN ONLY CHILD AND HAS A VERY LOVING FAMILY AND HAS BEEN RAISED BASICALLY IN A BUSINESS OFFICE AND IS MENTALLY ADVANCED FOR HER AGE. HAS BEEN POTTY TRAINED BY HER OWN INSISTANCE SINCE 17 MONTHS OF AGE AND HAS TALKED IN SENTENCES SINCE ABOUT 20 MONTHS OF AGE. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VERY HAPPY CHILD AND MOSTLY PLAYED ALONE OR WITH ADULTS. CAN WE HELP HER ADJUST AND NOT BE SO SAD.

She will need a special school with older, more mature children. She is not a child herself, in some very important ways, and is obviously not interested in adjusting backwards to fit with the rest. You raised her in an adult environment and now that's what she is; a miniature adult.

I know exactly how you are feeling. I recently just went through this with my 2 1/2 yr old son at an in-home daycare. He would only go 2-3 days a week and when he first started going he would cry for a few minutes after I left him and then be fine the rest of the day. He went for about 6 months and then it started that when I would tell him he had to go there he would cry all the way there and leech on to me crying hysterically when I would try to drop him off (he will stay fine with any of my family or fiance's family). He even started telling me he didn't like his sitter, although he'd never give me a reason why. I decided to take him out because I just felt in my heart that there was something wrong, whatever the reason may have been. Fortunately, I have had people willing to step up and help me out by watching him for a while til I can figure out a new place that he can go because it was really heartbreaking for me to leave him when he was like that. Best wishes with whatever you decide to do with your son.

Sounds like she is a very spoiled child use to getting her own way. Now putting her in a school with other children she is not the center of attention and that is the problem. Have you thought about getting her some help? Just because she is mentally advanced for her age does not give her the right of way to control the situation and the adults in her life. Talk to her doctor or another professional and see if they can lead you into the right direction and if not God help you with the spoiled brat that you all ready have on your hands.

She honestly may not know why she feels that way. Kids can experience anxiety for many reasons. Is there something new going on at home, some change in her life? Is she struggling academically or socially? Can you help her make a good friend in the class? Is she gifted? Meet with the teachers and guidance counselor formally. If you can't get to the bottom of it, you may want to take her to a psychologist. It may just be a short term thing and a concern she needs just a little help with. If you help her successfully now, she will learn from it and may be better off in her future. If you wait and do nothing, she may get worse (school refusal). It seems like she is upset enough to warrant intervention. You may want to do a search on school phobia or separation anxiety. I have a lot of experience with this with my son. It can get better.
Best wishes

Its sounds like she is scared to be in school and that is sad because she will get worse every year she has to go and she will have fear of kids for no reason and yes its a big deal if she is having problems with other kids they are mean sometimes.Put her into a different class if you have too.

Just keep doing what you're doing. There isn't any reason to find another school..kids will be kids. Eventually she will understand this. She's young and it's just something kids go through. (especially girls). Has she made any friends at school yet? Possibly a play date with some of the kids at school could help...(from her class).

I don't usually encourage children to skip forward in school, but perhaps in your daughter's case, it might be a good idea. She's obviously mentally advanced, and from the sounds of it, more socially advanced than her classmates. You might want to talk with a counselor about other suggestions of what to do. I'm sure you don't want her to be so miserable that she ends up hating school.

i think it would be a very good idea to get her involved in a kids program so that she can interact with other children. check with your school. some of them offer an after school program for working parents... YOU may not need her to go, but it may do her some good to play with other children so that she is experiencing something positive that includes other children...

She needs to be around other childrenas much as possible. She knows how to interact with adults but not kids. Kids are not as nice as adults. Have a conference with teacher and principal. They will be able to guide you.
