[quote=Anonymous]My child was much younger when we went through school refusal but it was SO hard. God just awful. I agree you have to make home boring. It will be disruptive but he will not go back to school if staying home and watching YouTube is an option. Think of this as an investment in getting him back to school. Have you had a real discussion about why he doesn’t want to go? Lots of kids would prefer to stay home but they don’t resort to refusal. Make sure there isn’t something that is really problematic. But that conversation can’t happen in the morning when it’s time to go. It happens in the afternoon and evening and you take him seriously and do what you can to help him smooth things out while he returns. We were told over and over just get him in the door. If he doesn’t do school work that’s ok. The longer they stay out the harder it is. We did a reward for going back and it helped but I know that’s some what controversial. [/quote]
