That's just heartbreaking about the youngest Could you home school her?

Aww bless her. With her being off school for so long it's bound to be hard for her. Do they have anything like a buddy system so she has somebody to look out for her/play with.

Have you had any meetings yet regarding DD's needs and support as she goes forward in school? Hate to say this but with her not being there they've probably put her on the back burner. You might have to instigate some of this yourself and even then I doubt it'll be easy Maybe start by speaking to SENCO? xx

Morning

Thank you for your replies. I feel heartbroken I can't just make it better. I've decided as soon as I'm debt free I will be taking her out and home educating. I don't feel I can give my 100% while I'm worried about debt and things. Where as once it's gone I will not only have the time/less worries but I will also have a small amount spare to cover the small costs needed to attend the free groups etc and things needed.

It played on my mind all night and I didn't really get any sleep and neither did she. I still feel so guilty.

Anyway another day and nothing really mse to say.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

That's awful, poor DD. The school should be helping :mad:

Is it worth you finding local Home Ed groups now, even if you aren't able to give her the focus you'd like to? I found other parents were really helpful and there were also organised activities (not necessarily with costs incurred) which might be something you could join in or at least get ideas from. Though of course you might be the one with ideas!

Aw, W. I'm just sending you hugs because I don't know what else to do. You try so very hard and have accomplished so much. Wish I could help. xxx

Hi Wannabe,


Are you looking to move Littlest Small as well as the two biggest Smalls to a new school? I remember you mentioning asking for 3 forms.


If you do, I hope that the new school do more for and with Littlest Small to help her progress.


I doubt the new school could be any worse than this one and the fact that all three are experiencing a new school together might make the move easier on them collectively.


Perhaps it's worth thinking about?

Evening.

Today's been busy and I have caught youngests germs!

PB I did request forms for all 3. However DS doesn't want to move as he is going into his last year and doesn't want to leave his friends. I've completed the form for elder DD and sent it back. Not hopeful of a place yet but I do have access to inside info for the new school and will keep asking for when someone's leaving so I can chase it

I just don't think youngest is going to 'get' school yet. She's so far behind her peers. In every way not just the social side of things but she can't do what the others are doing and that upsets her. Plus the things she can't join in for safety reasons etc. I just feel the school setting is just too much for her. She did slightly better today in the fact she didn't cry. But she still spent the full 3 hours without speaking to anyone/another child. She's only just settled and it isn't even school until Monday and she's worrying.

I think it's so hard to know what to do for the best. I've emailed and requested info from a lot of home ed groups/help places out there and will speak to her care team again next week when we have a review on the medical side of things.
