That's my DD6 exactly too. Last year in K she came home crying everyday after school for the first 2 months. I was so upset and called the teacher several times. The teacher said it's good she is talking to me and letting those feelings out because home is a good place for that. (She is a perfect student and freind at school.) By talking we are building a relationship. I should try to listen and not always resolve it for her. Let her find her way. I realize this is not the answer to everything but this has helped me. I think when I can not be so worried the kids pick up on that vibe and that helps them get more relaxed with their struggles. This is still a challenge. How do we know when it's just necessary venting or when to make a change?
