[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to work on your kids self esteem so he doesn’t easily become a target.
1. Homeschool him for the rest of the year.
2. Put him in a karate class asap especially one that has a bully curriculum.
3. Does he have a dad or male involved in his life?  His dad needs to spend one on one time with him.  Get him involved in Boy Scouts.
4.  Practice the cogat tests with him over the summer and request that he is retested in the fall.  Make sure he’s not in the bully kids class.  [/quote]

Homeschooling will NOT reduce school refusal or increase his confidence. Pleasr y’all just educate yourselves a tiny bit on the basic principles of handling anxiety and school refusal. [/quote]
I would love to see your peer reviewed studies on psychological outcomes of children being forced into environments where they are being heavily bullied and physically assaulted. [/quote]

there’s no evidence he’s being “heavily bullied” and OP’s story is that he is refusing because he’s embarrassed by the suspension, embarrassed even to go to therapy out of some kind of fear of others finding out, and also got bullied at his last school. All evidence points to anxious maladaptive coping by this kid, which yes, will only be compounded by letting him stay home. All of the literature on school refusal indicates correlation with mood disorders like anxiety, and every intervention is aimed at getting the child back into school.

Having a tooth knocked out and then being threatened with the same isn't being heavily bullied? This sh!t wouldn't fly in a [b]prison[/b].[/quote]
