Zoe had a good day at school today... Very little whining as she started her day, no tears at school.... As the last bunch of posts reported, her teacher and I began strategizing on how to get Zoe past some anxiety.
Now, We just have to make it past Thursday... It seems that a lot of the nervousness and anxiety at school comes from either assemblies, or library day... She hates to sit cross-legged for long periods of time and gets bored during story time... This was the case last Thursday, and she told the librarian that she felt sick... She was allowed to go to the office and they called me. I called back and we came to the decision that Zoe was acting out... She survived until pick up time. Her teacher would not had let her go to the office... Just sent her out for a drink.
In the end I tried a bunch of things... A smile chart... Both of us wearing pearls to school... And finally some art therapy... I had her draw her saddest moment (sitting at school between two smiling friends)... And her happiest (when I picked her up from school). She came back to the picture this morning telling her dad about it, and that was it. No crying, no whining.
