hey everyone... i really need some advice about school refusal in a 5 year old.

my DD has started routinely waking up in the night crying hysterically about school. she hates school for a variety of the usual reasons (no meaningful differentiation & social isolation) and as such, we are moving her to a new school in the fall. (ps - thanks everyone who helped me feel ok about making such a radical change!)

so here we are at 6 weeks left in the year - and we were trucking along, feeling really good about the light at the end of the tunnel, when these sleepless nights suddenly hit us and now she is point blank refusing to go back.

if anyone has any experience with this, i'd love to hear how y'all handled it. thanks!





Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.
