Headaches: are not normal on children. She needs to see a doctor. You also need to assess these headaches for their timing and circumstance. Does she get them only in the morning as an attempt at avoiding school? Has she missed school because of headaches? Is she able to do the things she likes even with the headache? Or do they incapacitate her.? Lots of questions? See a doc.
