I would speak to her teacher too Noeleen.... you never know you may find she's not as bad as what you perceive! Plus it may help Aoife's case if the teacher knows you are concerned about her. The Omega 3's are brilliant if they work for her, they helped my Zach loads and he has ADHD!!! You can get a liquid form for kids from Boots (and off the net) which is flavoured and disguises the horrible taste. It took a few weeks before it had any effect on Zach. Hope they help her concentrate but if not, it may be worth having a word with you local health professional for some input. Re Red's dilemma........ overall I would say that deep down you sound like you don't want to miss out on this opportunity while you can. Personally I love the big age gap with my 4 kids! |

I have to agree here Noeleen. I think talking to the teacher will accomplish several things. Firstly it will let her know you are concerned about how shes doing, secondly it will give you a feel about how the teacher is percieving Aoife. As you are only getting snippets about Aoife being moved outside etc, its bound to make you wonder whats going on. No good teacher should ever want to quosh a childs natural personality, and it sounds as though Aoife has a beautiful personality. All kids are different and some are just not interested in academic stuff, but prefer to learn about life by living it. Of course school is a part of life and I'm sure if you talk to the teacher and work with her you will both ensure Aoife's school life is as much a fun part of life as the rest of it. |

Well I collared the teacher today and asked her should we have a meeting and she said that she was going to ring me after Halloween break. We did have a brief chat and she says that Aoife appears, for the most part, to be very unhappy in school. She asked me to find out who she would like to sit beside. She asked me to try and find out if Aoife was getting bullied. So... I had a long chat with Aoife and besides the usual carryon in school there is no one who is making her life unbearable. Aoife can be terribly unhappy at times and I have never got to the bottom of it either. Her mood swings can be quite severe.. a problem for another day I'm sure... We did a little mantra today... I will try to be happy in school. I will try to concentrate and not look out the window. I will try to be the best girl in the school. so..... lets wait and see... |

Wouldn't it be easier if we could be a fly on the wall of our kids' school?? I know what you're going through as I have had this for 3 years with Oliver. I just keep going in every couple of weeks to talk to the teacher. You have to work together on this one and keep on at the teacher until it's resolved - she's there and you're not so what else can you do? Hope you get it sorted soon hun  |

Aoife can be terribly unhappy at times. Her mood swings can be quite severe.. This surely isnt right for child of her age. She has a happy family life and a loving family. Have you had her checked medically hun about the mood swings? Just in case something is underlying? I do hope you get to the bottom of things soon mate |

Noeleen, after meeting your girls I would say Aoife is quite a deep thinker and mulls everything over...would that be where the mood swings come from..the times when she is quiet and withdrawn is when she is thinking. As has been said she has a superb home life and there is certainly lots of laughter and love, keep a wee eye on her and maybe ask again about the idea of her being buillied, I know some kids wont admit to it even if it is only someone calling her names now and again and its making her withdraw while she works through it herself....am glad you spoke to the teacher as now she knows you are wanting to work with her, which can often be such a battle in schools |

Boss came back... she shoots from the hip a bit too often for my liking. and can be mean spirited with it too....  I'm keeping an eye on her still, I think it is just a matter of her applying herself and she is currentl |
