Q: Hello, I hope you can help. My daughter has just started senior school but is scared of school.

She by nature loves routine but can lack confidence.  She would cry going into school often until she joined junior school and was find thoughout, but now sh is really struggling.  She is constanly saying her tummy hurts/feels sick and is eating very little at home saying she is too scared about school.  She says she isn' being bullied, likes all her teachers and subjects (although not too keen on geography), but when she is in school she feels fine.  She had been cryin at school before but doesn't anymore.  She is becoming ill as she isn't eating much except in school but she has always had a good appetite.  Please help.
