Well aparently all the good stuff we are seeing with Hannah isn't carrying over to school. :( I got an email from her teacher this morning. Dd shut down twice last week and again for most of the day yesterday. They didn't know why. Last week dd came home and ripped up her pictures of her only friend. She told dh her friend, A, was being mean to her. Dh encouraged her to make some new friends. Dd said she can't. Yesterday she told me she had a bad day. She seemed fine and happy when I picked her up. When I asked why first she said it was a secret but with coaxing told me A was being mean again. (she never mentions shutting down) This totally sucks. I emailed the teacher back and explained I think the shutting down is directly related to the friend trouble. I asked if they'd try to facilitate some new friendships and let me know who would be good to invite for a playdate. Man, I was really hoping all the great stuff we are seeing at home had carried over to school. It makes me angry because I want to fix it for her but I just don't know how.
