5 Things You Can Do if Your Child is Avoiding School
- Start an Open Conversation: Approach your child with curiosity and empathy. Ask open-ended questions to understand their feelings and concerns about school. For example, “Can you tell me what’s been bothering you about school lately?” or “What part of your school day do you find most challenging?
- Identify Specific Issues: Work with your child to identify specific problems they are facing at school. Ask them to rate different parts of their school day to pinpoint what’s troubling them. This could help uncover issues with peers, teachers, or particular subjects.
- Validate Their Emotions: Acknowledge and validate your child’s feelings without judgment. Use neutral language to describe what you observe, such as “I see you’re really frustrated about going to school.” This helps them feel understood and supported.
- Rule Out Medical Concerns: Ensure that there are no underlying medical issues contributing to their school avoidance. Schedule a check-up with your child’s pediatrician to address potential problems like vision or hearing issues, learning disabilities, or anxiety disorders.
- Model Emotional Expression: Share your own feelings and past experiences to help your child articulate their emotions. For instance, “When I was your age, I sometimes felt nervous about going to school too. How do you feel about it?” This can encourage them to open up and express their own emotions more freely.
