[QUOTE="idohope, post: 312397, member: 7722"] Thanks for the responses husband and I had a phone conference with principal, teacher and school SW. We are in agreement that it seems to be an issue of general anxiety and not test anxiety or some specific school trigger. difficult child seems to do fine once she is in school. They think we are doing things right (reward chart in morning; no pressure to get bus). We did discuss what will happen if she absolutely refuses to go. Call principal which could trigger visit from school resource officer (police). The plan is to lay this out to difficult child at a calm moment so she knows what the plan is and these steps are not brought up in heat of the moment if she is tantruming. SW will be starting a "worry group" at school and will invite difficult child. Not sure how that will go. difficult child may refuse. If difficult child is late they do not want a parent walking her up to the classroom (we should only bring her to the school office) but they can identify someone else in the school to walk her up. (Felt that having a parent walk her up feeds the concept that there is something to be worried about; needing a parent with her) The school SW also wants us to sign a release so that they can communicate directly with therapist. I have mixed feelings about that. I want to provide school with information that will help but I dont know that they need to have access to all that goes on with difficult child outside of school. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
