Yes that is it. My daughter liked working at her own pace, and not have to listen to the teacher go on and on about it in class and everyone asking questions.  Thanks for the link, we will look into it. Yes we go out as a family every Sunday and they choose what we do. So that helps to ignore the other issues for a day but I'm sure we will get there but yeah it's just hard. ... View more

Hi Janine, She started high school this year. so year 7. I will give her the links and let her know that is available to her, thanks.  She says nothing has happened at school, no bullying, no name calling, no issues with boys and no issues with teachers or the school, she just hates going and would prefer to be home schooled or have all her learning from the school online, as she prefers it that way.  I do think Covid has a lot to do with it as she had no issues from 3 year old kinder all the way up to grade 5, then grade 6 home all year. She found a love for learning on line and  I also study online and prefer it but she does need to go to school for the social side of things.  The school has mentioned that they are hear to help and if that means starting school a little later and leaving school earlier on different days then that could be an option or even half online learning and full days at school too. She hates sport so they have said they will look into putting her into another subject on the PE times or if it is in the morning its a late start or PM its an early finish. So they are trying to help but we need to see the school councillors still. She starts from the night before, and the morning of school, so it's on going and my 2 boys are feeling it and always complain about her and the situation.  Thanks for the parent support, I will think about that one. Thanks. ... View more

I am kind of the same boat. My 12 year old daughter is refusing to go to school. She has had a total of15 days off. I have spoken to the GP who referred us to a psychologist and that is booked in for April. I spoke to the school yesterday and I am waiting for an appointment to see the appropriate people. I am at a loss as she has never had any previous issues relating to school or mental health so it is a shock for the family to see her like this, she has always been the head strong child. She cries every morning, says she is going to vomit and has headaches, only on school days. I am at a loss with what to do next. ... View more
