How to handle a child who doesn’t want to go to school?

[Rayna Parker]

My child has been refusing to go to school lately, and it’s becoming a daily struggle. They cry, make excuses, and seem genuinely upset about attending. I’m worried about how this will affect their education and social skills. I’m looking for advice from other parents who have dealt with similar situations. What strategies helped your child overcome school refusal?

Being a mum of a first-grader, I tried giving my child more control over their morning routine, like choosing what to wear or what to pack for lunch. It gave them a sense of independence, which helped ease the resistance.
