My dd recently started school and the poor thing isnt coping well (in one of my threads)
I finally got out of her why she doesnt like it and she says its because it is so noisy.
Now I dont really know how to tackle this as schools are noisy .. you cant get away from it.
This morning when I dropped her into school, I tried very hard to stay by the door and encourage her to put her coat & bags on her peg by herself, but there are so many kids and there is not much room (modern purpose built building) she totally freaked out and panicked. Came sobbing her heart out to me saying she was scared. Eventually got her sorted as I had to go into the cloakroom with her in the end. The teachers and assistants do what they can, but they cant be everywhere!
She also hardly ate any of her lunch. Again she said that everyone was annoying her and being noisy.
I said to her that schools are noisy, and there isnt much you can do about that, so you have to try to get used to it.
Dont really think it sunk in, and tomorrow will tell.
Any tips? She has always hated loud noises and crowds. Terrified of the lawn mower, hoover, ripping foil etc
I am lost on how to help her
