School and social issues

NAS73749

Help!! I’m new to this group but really need some advice from people who understand where I’m coming from. My daughter is 13 and struggles like crazy with the social side of school, she has no friends and finds school life very difficult, she is currently getting upset on certain days randomly and won’t go to school because she masks the whole time and then has meltdowns where she can’t cope at home and needs a day off to recover. Especially changes where she doesn’t know how the day will go makes her very anxious and I have to keep her home. School are so unsupportive and don’t help her one bit. Currently in process of changing school or thinking about taking her out completely, any advice would be great.

    I am not sure what advice I can give you, we are very new to this and my daughter is also 13. She had not been to school for 7 months. She is now attending for 30mins a day not in uniform and no lessons. No pressure at all. We have got the school nurse involved and a charity called Sendiass the support has been amazing from both of them and they really seem to give the school a kick up the backside. Do you have any of these involved? We were advised not to change school and not to home school as if we home schooled we would not get any support.
