We had our meeting at school and to be honest it went really well as I was half expecting to get in there and be told " Rebekah will have to get on with it " but the Head Teacher was really good and supportive she said we needed to unpick all this with Rebekah as we don't want a school phobia and we need to get back the Happy little girl who left infants in July.
I was told that she is ok once in class but that doesn't help us when she is making herself sick and crying in a morning. So these are the strategies we are putting in place
- Rebekah is going into class a little earlier than the others as she has a really important job to do ( you know the ones that the school could just not continue if she didn't do it )
- The N.T.A in the class has become her "mentor" who she can go to for a cuddle and a love and just a hold of the hand if that is what she feels she needs.
- The Family Liaison teacher ( who is brill) has an ever open door for her to pop down and see and chat to and hug if needed
- The teacher has been told that Rebekah just needs a little more recognition in the class and made to feel more at ease ( i.e rub on the head in the morning and a "hi how are you this morning")
- And the Head said we should let Rebekah know we have had the meeting so she knows we are all trying to make it better for her.
- Another meeting has been set for next Friday (4th May) with Rebekah so we can see how she feels and she can help us make it better.
So hopefully things will be on the up she hasn't cried this week apart from Monday although it wouldn't take much to push her over the edge but a least we are making progress ( fingers crossed) So that's were we are at.
Thanks to all for their support I have had some lovely messages on various forums i visit it just helps knowing there are people i can chat to if i feel the need.
