[quote=Anonymous]When we got the "I don't like school" complaints, we told our kids you don't have to like school all the time, you just have to do your best at it even if you don't like it at the moment. Sometimes our work isn't fun -- that's why they call it work and not play -- but school is a child's work just like parents go to work every day. Then try to distract the kid with discussion of something about school that he does like -- PE, art, friends, an interesting project, a field trip, whatever. If you honestly think there are significant problems it makes sense for you to try to solve the root issues, but I definitely wouldn't make a big deal of your child's supposed dislike of school. That will just feed it and play right into his hands. When parents downplay unpleasantness, many times kids will as well.[/quote]
