Welcome to the forum. Our daughter in elementary school used to run after us when we dropped her off and cried and made a scene. This lasted off and on for a
while. She outgrew it, but it was very stressful. She is 26 now, has a good job and lives with her boyfriend. So their is hope. I was the same way. I used to cry, but
my mother gave in to me, which was bad. I missed so much elementary school that a truant officer came to out house which I am sure they don't do any more. In fact
records showed that I missed the equivalent of one year of school in my first 6 years of elementary school and I turned out OK, went to college, got CPA, etc., so kids
have a habit of turning things around and I know other similar cases.
