Hi again, we've had such a bad day. To start off with I shouted at my daughter's teacher on the phone but luckily she understood why I was very emotional.
Basically, we have the same issues every week or day but we don't know why. So today, she went to school fine but on the way there was an accident involving a cyclist being knocked off by a car but they said she seemed fine in the car and afterwards. She is a cyclist as well so she must be anxious about it. Apart from that, it was fine on the way and she did her first lesson well and had a chat to her teacher because she had a nightmare last night after witnessing a friend's attempted kidnap years ago. Everything was fine after that until it was time to go home and every Friday is the worst and we still don't know why.
This time she refused to go home and when she was the last student left, they opened the gate to the car park but she walked past the cars and down the road trying to get away. Obviously many teachers followed her and tried bringing her back to school and they called me many times. There were around 7 staff with her and in the end she walked in a circle and then went towards the school which is near some train tracks but she made a move and walked into the middle of the road to go towards the tracks so 2 members of staff and to hold her and physically walk her back to school and into her room.
2 people were in the room with her, one blocking the door keeping it locked and the other on the other side of the room. She started getting bored and starting chucking things about and kicking chairs over and basically destroyed her room so the teachers had to obviously move everything out the room so she's safe. Then another staff member came in and they talked about dogs which calmed her. Then I got asked to collect her and I got her and I got her at 2:15 ish. She finishes at 12 and the students finish at 12:45 so again, she was the last student to go home. I don't know what to do? She just likes to wonder and she's a very high risk... I'm just lost, we don't know why she didn't want to go home and I've tried asking her but she doesn't know. I'm just at a dead end...
