What You Do If You Have A Child With School-refusal Difficulties?

• Remain calm - try not to let your child see that you are worried or frustrated.
• Listen to your child and encourage him/her to share his/her feelings.
• Don't dismiss your child's feelings - everyone is afraid sometimes.
• Talk to your child's teacher about the difficulties being experienced. Explore what assistance the school can provide.
• Arrange for your child to have a medical check-up if he or she reports persistent physical complaints, such as nausea, headaches, stomach aches or diarrhea. These are often associated with anxiety.
​• Seek assistance through the school counsellor or a therapist experienced in dealing with medication that reduces anxiety and treats school refusal
