As a child in early elementary school, I told my parents that I hated school and didn't want to go. My parents told me I needed to learn to learn to deal with it. What I learned was that my parents were unsupportive and that complaining was futile. I don't think I learned anything in school but how many holes were in the ceiling tiles. I was a high achieving people pleaser, popular with my classmates, and absolutely miserable.
If your child is telling you she needs something, you should listen before she decides you are not worth approaching for help on anything...
Be sure to ask other questions about school. Is she learning anything?
