If I were you I would write a letter about how the school should pay for her

to see a therapist. If I could I would slap this women for you.

Louisa,

I am so sorry to hear that she has traumatized poor Liesel soo much. Please

make sure you document everything she tells you. If any of the other

children in her class are verbal, you might want to contact the parents and

see if they can get any information from their child. Poor baby.

Poor Leisel. I hope this teacher gets what she deserves. Are you considering

homeschooling? Or switching to a new school?

Since that teacher hit my girl she has changed almost beyond

recognition. She has become clingy and insisted that I put her bag and uniform

away. She has even started sucking her thumb; she didn't even have a pacifier

for long as a baby. She is petrified of strangers too before she was the other

way TOO confident which was worrying also.

Rotten teacher. I agree with you that right now Liesel needs to be

with you. If that is where she is comfortable right now than that is

what she needs.

Gail, my now 13yo, was quite traumatized after another girl at school

attacked her. She wasn't seriously injured but she was greatly

affected. We did elected to enroll her in therapy with a child

therapist she responded well to. Gail also had a tremendous increase

in her panic attacks and her overall anxiety became rather

unmanageable. It's difficult to say whether the incident preciptated

the worsening of symptoms, or if it was hormones, or both, but worsen

they did. Last year it became evident fairly early in the school

year that she could not physically attend school without falling to

pieces. She was assigned a home teacher and Gail continued to work

with her therapist. She is doing much better now with managing

herself and her social interactions. Of course there is always more

to it, but the point is that with time and support Gail was able to

work through this. I hope that Liesel is able to do the same.

And I hope that teacher is FIRED!

Louisa,

This is just awful! I would like to say I can't believe it, but

unfortunately I can. I've had a few horrid teachers myself.

Do you have developmental ped that you can talk to? A psychologist?

Someone who can give you some advice on how to help Liesel overcome

some of her fears?

(((((hugs)))))

I'm so sorry this is happening to you and Liesel. :-(

Thank GOODNESS she was able to tell you what happened.

I think keeping her home is a good idea right now, and I HOPE you will be

ripping this school a new one.

I think this must have happened while I was out of town Louisa, but from

what I can tell, this must have been a horrendous experience. I am

truly sorry you and Liesel are going through this and I pray for this to

work out OK. I'm just so very sorry to hear that it has affected Liesel

so much!

UGH!

I just want to strangle that woman for you.

Louise, if you need any help with coming up with things to do at home with her

let me know. Homeschoolers are good for something ;0)

Totally traumatised...

Since that teacher hit my girl she has changed almost beyond

recognition.

She has become clingy and insisted that I put her bag and uniform

away.

She has even started sucking her thumb; she didn't even have a

pacifier for long as a baby.

She is petrified of strangers too before she was the other way TOO

confident which was worrying also.

I took her to her old playgroup so that she could mix and get

involved with the Christmas activities.

The lady who runs this group was her childminder twice a week for a

year and person who she adored.

When I left and went back I was told that she cried and shook NEVER

EVER has Liesel bothered when I have left her, that was always

another worrying feature she never even used to look back to refer

to me she was off.

This teacher has worked a good one on her; she has terrified so much

that she doesn't even trust the people she used to love.

Her old childminder could not believe the change in her.

She has been saying all day she isn't going again...I am so sad for

her I feel sick to my stomach.

We will get justice for our little girl one way or another.

Other things have been coming out about this teacher's behaviour and

clearly she is out of control.

Apart from the more serious allegations of hitting, throwing things

and generally being angry all the time.

She tells me this woman has said things like " Meat makes you stupid "

is that her way of making the children in her care become vegetarian

or something? Although I have seen this teacher eating bacon so I

just don't know...

Well right now she is staying home with us where she feels safe....

Poor little sweetie. I hope that so-called teacher gets into a world of

trouble over this crap. She reminds me of Boone's teacher, even down to

trying to force HER dietary choices on kids.

What a witch.
