Hi, my 8 year old DD has severe learning difficulties and is in a main stream primary. This is her first sports day apart from her nursery ones, as she was home educated from the age of 5-8.
Her co-ordination and balance are not great, but she won her practice running race probably because she's about a foot taller than the other children. She says she's worried she won't win, and there will be lots of people watching. I've tried to explain, it doesn't matter who wins and that the parents will only be interested in their own children etc.
It was meant to be tomorrow, but it's been post-pond until next week.
She's getting herself into such a state about it, and keeps asking how many days, then asking me to count to that number. She keeps saying " I think I might have a tummy ache on that day, just so you know". She said "If I'm poorly, I can't go can I?"
I do feel sorry for her, especially tonight as she was sobbing so much, her little face was all pink.
I know if I have a word with her teacher, she'll jolly her along and say it'll all be o.k and my DD will smile and agree with her, then let it all out at home.
