Romper – Jenny True
“I have two daughters ages 9 and 11. The younger one loves school, and if she doesn’t want to go, I can always tell she is sick for real. My older daughter is another story. She is extremely sensitive, and she often talks about certain girls at school not being nice. She also gets a lot of stomach aches. In the first quarter of school this year already she missed eight days. That’s eight days in only 10 weeks of school. Last year she missed something like 25 days of school over the year! She complains of a tummy ache, and I try to suss out if it’s a real physical ailment, or caused by anxiety. That is really hard to do.” (more)
