Exclusion

So after what has been a good start to the week A has been excluded for a day and a half.The sad thing is it turns out that all of this bad behaviour has been a desperate attempt to keep a friend.Trying to teach A she has her own mind and it’s not a bad thing to look after yourself first.That this friend is not her responsibility.The friend blackmails A with if she doesn’t do it then the friend won’t come to school then A has no one to hang around with.

I wish I knew how to get into A’s head so she could see actually what a genuinely loving caring funny person she is and when she shows that side people like her more.A seems to have carried around a huge ball of anger for years even as a younger child.My heart breaks trying to make the decision of taking her out of school but then will she do the lessons if I home school?

What about the social side of things? A doesn’t mix with anyone other than adults at home oh and her Animals. Annie loves spending time with her older sister as well.

As a family unit we are all very close her uncles grandparents cousins we all spend time together and A loves that time together with her family.we are all guilty of treating her as older than she actually is but A is very mature in some ways

With a 10 year age gap between my two girls I can definitely say raising a child has got harder in those years.The concerns are bigger it’s a totally different world 🌎
