Hi All,

I have a kiddo that is often sad and clings to the adults in the room very frequently. She is deaf in one ear and tells parents that she is bored and not learning at school. This child is very gifted and reads way above her grade level. I notice that she is mostly sad at drop off and also when it is time to go to the after school care. She tells us that she misses mom and that it is too loud. I am not sure that the kiddo even knows what is bothering her. Parents are blaming the school saying that she is bored and I think it might be separation anxiety. Maybe it is a bit of both....

Do you have any insights, ideas, or tricks for sad kiddos?

Thanks,
