[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others have mentioned, you child is experiencing school avoidance. Most commonly, there’s some sort of anxiety underlying it. You’re doing the right thing by not giving in and allowing the avoidance to yield the result of not attending school. But you need to bring in behavioral health support to keep this from escalating and to help your child manage whatever feelings are motivating the school avoidance. Talk the school counselor and your pediatrician for referrals. It may seem like a big step to jump straight to out-of-school therapy, but you want to get on top of this before it escalates further.
