My daughter hates kindergarten.?
My daughter is 5 and just started school this year. It has only been 3 weeks since the first day and before that she stayed at home with me. I felt that she would cry and not want to leave me but the first week she did great no problem and loved it. In the past couple of weeks she has started crying all day will not eat her lunch. Yesterday was so bad that the teacher had to call the principal to the classroom to take her out of class. I have even went to the school and helped thinking that would make her feel better it only made it worse. I don't know what to do with her. Any ideas?

If you are super rich, you can hire a private tutor and a nanny and have her home-schooled for the next 13+ years.
Otherwise, she will just have to deal with it like every other kid on the face of the planet.
--Cried every day of school for 12 years.
--Still cry every weekday when I have to go to work.
Being a helicopter parent and rescuing them from the 1st day of school isn't the best way to deal with it..
You need to let things happen. She will get over it. Get with some of the other parents, and get the kids together off school time. so they can start playing and having fun outside of school.
Crying is normal, and separation anxiety is as well, but rescuing them, only makes matter worse.
Say, "If you cry today, then no snack." Make her go to school anyway. She'll get used to it.
