Q:
My 5 y/o loved school for the first 4 months, now she refuses to go. No overt bullying that we can tell. How can I get her to return to school?
My daughter says that she is bored, school is too long, she gets hungry, she knows everything they are teaching, and she simply doesn't want to go. She loved school at first. The only thing we know happened is that 2 boys made fun of her on one day. But she says that isn't why she doesn't want to return. She is even crying at 7 the night before school. This morning she refused to even get dressed and eat breakfast. Never made it out of the front door.

My son had many of the same reasons for not liking school-boredom, hunger, long day etc. We made the personal choice to homeschool and I can now see the difference in him, he loves to be challenged and a public classroom is a challenge for those who catch on quickly. I know this is not for everyone, but perhaps a parent /teacher meeting is due? Perhaps, her teacher can provide extra challenges/jobs to keep her engaged....

I think that you should talk to her teacher and find out more. How she is doing in the class and how she interacts with other kids?
I will suggest that you should try to become friends with couple of moms in the class and have play dates with their kids so she feels more comfortable in the class and excited about going next day and meeting her friends.
