Well, I want to thank you AmyEJ for starting this thread. I've found it helpful as a few things have really jumped out at me. I've recently been considering homeschooling DD6 because the school is just not doing anything for her and she's getting more frustrated. And then I read two posters mentioning 'stomach ache' and a light bulb just went on! My daughter was fine all afternoon and evening, but complained of a stomach ache before bed (this isn't the first time it has spontaneously occurred). I told her that if tomorrow it is still bothering her, I will take her to the doctor's after school (it's a half day tomorrow). And she seemed surprised and said, "You mean I have to go to school tomorrow?" Makes me wonder if there is more to it.
