First year teaching can be really difficult. And special ed like art, music and P.E. are sort of separate from the many classroom teachers. All that to say your daughter may not have much of a "similar-to-her field" built-in support system within the school. I'm sure your T will help.

All you can do is your best. You're not your mother, you are your daughter's mother. Maybe all you can do for both of you is listen and give hugs. Whatever you do, it will be just right.

P.S. The days of December before Christmas break are extremely stressful for teachers and 1st year teachers have no reference for the insane intensity of it!!!
