School Refusal

It started 2 weeks ago when Aqeel refuse to go to school. I thought maybe he was sleepy because that day he woke up as early as 5.00am. So I let him stay at home. The second day, still refuse to go to school and since my dad is not feeling well, they did not force him to school as well.

But on the third day the same thing happen, I start to wonder what is happening. I start googling how to handle kids that refuse to go to school or is it an early symptom of anything. Yes..I FREAK OUT. 

So many results came out, and most of it require us to get advice from paed if the refusal prolong for more than 1 week. So I waited...

The next day, my dad force him to school and he cried there. The teacher advice my dad to just let him stay in the school and they will try to comfort him. A few minutes after that, he stop cried but still refuse to enter his class. Being a PANIC mother, I bugging the teachers a few times a day, everyday..

I even asked him why he refuse, because for me he was not like this before. Last year we sent him, he never show refusal till this extend. Same school, same teacher, and even same classmate (his cousins). So I start to think that maybe he saw something in the classroom or whatsoever because u know little kids can see what adult cannot see.

So I start to think of every possible reason and until know I just dont know why. But he improve a lot this week. He still cried when dad send him but once seeing the teacher he stop. He even enter the class as usual.

Hopefully by nextweek he will be 100% ok since it is bugging me everyday try to think any possibilities of his refusal.

Thank you to the teachers for helping me getting through this. They make it easy for me by giving extra attention and try to comfort on him. Hopefully it works.
