Some of the children refuses to wake up early. If they wake up, they weare their clothes slowly and no finish their breakfast quickly. Some of them pretend the disease.

Parents prefer to deal as follows:

 - Sleep early for the child.

- Non-payment of bribes to the child, but giving small gifts for his performance of his duties.

- Accustom the child to read the course material before the start of the school year. 

- The parents does not used the scold or reprimand to the child.

Dear Ivo & Qasim,

Not having any children of my own, my experience in this is only second-hand, from observations of my many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews, from which I can assure you that, in my opinion, each of the methods that you have proposed is a very worthwhile one to ensure the success of the child.

Best regards,

Dear Qasim,

Perhaps the most difficult thing for young children to overcome (particularly if they have not been reared in family or social situations where they are with a large group of other children of similar age-group) is getting used to being in a social group, rather than being that one "special" person "the apple of his or her mama's eye" so-to-speak" [or "spoiled rotten" as we sometimes term it in the US}. Here in the US, we have more-and-more and earlier-and-earlier opportunities (kindergartens and pre-schools and even child-care classes for infants at our churches on Sundays while adults attend worship services) to "socialize" the babies and get-them-used to interacting with (and enjoying being with and playing with) other children their own age. So, by the time they are old-enough to begin school for the task of "book-learning" for the primary education purpose, they look at the opportunity of going to school to join their friends as "fun" as just part of their daily expected routine, and not as something unknown to be feared.

So, my advice in this regard, for parents anxious about children who they may fear will reject or fear starting school, is to find every opportunity as early in their lives as possible to allow them to mix together with other children in groups of the same age as often as possible BEFORE they reach the age for entering school, and THEN they will most likely look forward to entering school as a great new adventure and opportunity, as they should!

My respects,

Bob Skiles

Usually children love a new experience and can't wait to go to a place where they can play (and learn) with other children. So to dawdle and try thereby to avoid going to school suggests a problem. First ensure that the parent(s) do not consciously or unconsciously display an antipathy toward school as children are extremely perceptive.

I think it is important to determine the reasons for the child(ren)s tardiness. Some children become physically ill from the stress of going into a new environment. Some children are bullied, or feel self-conscious, or feel (perhaps correctly) that the teacher singles them out.

If sleep is a problem then something must be changed around bed-time. Not necessarily making children retire earlier, but to allow them to unwind. One should reduce stimuli to put them into an accepting mood.  And bribes should never be given, but rewards for attendance or involvement are a good incentive.

Parent have great responsibility as they are creator of their children .Right from initial stage ,it is only parent who are observing the mood -temperament -behavior -attitude-of their children .

It is at this stage they have to take care of their children both loving under the study of their psychology for which parent do not require to have knowledge of psychology it is under the observation of their children to find out the interest of their children.

In their childhood the parent should pass on pencil or pen with a paper to their children so that they can know the interest or otherwise of the behavior of their children .

If they find the negative attitude of their children they should find out the friend of children which whose company children may get chance to develop. In such a important responsibility parent should not sit idle as they know well that when there is will ,they is the way .

Dear all,

Good day,

Good answer @ Bob, you are quite right.

Best regards

By becoming their friends; sometimes having fun with them.

I think parents are responsible to inform and train their children to know what the purposes of a meaningful life are and how to achieve that, which all begin  by getting the necessary knowledge and skills. Life is a challenge, challenges are problems and problems require necessary knowledge and skills to solve them, if problems in life are unsolved, then the person fails and suffers in life which is more dangerous to survive and that is why kids should go to schools not being forced but being convinced. Those who fail to do that lack the right information and training on the right time in the first place. 

I think This is one of the landmarks of failure in education in the Arab world. Children were waiting to enter the school, happy with it, but bad treatment of some teachers make children hate to go to their school . Parents should know the reasons and try to deal with.

It's a kind of a power struggle, leaving the child to leave the house hesitantly and in a bad mood towards learning, necessitating for good parenting practices

Dear Dr. Hussein:

Here, children should go to school by force of law, Brazilian Federal Constitution.

Medium sized and big one cities have a kind of council for the protection and care to children. Under further contact, this agency can investigate the set of motives. by which the children does not want to go to school.

Low social level or low level of education are typically involved in the question. In big cities, there is ONGs dedicated to this social problem. Seems a paradox, parents have that motive and explain to the children why go to the school if also mom and dad have not any schooling formal degree.

kind regards

Dear all,

Children who have good relationships with their parents,  does not  have a problems to go in the school.

It is important to know that learning, although an opportunity but more of a responsibility for a responsible citizen. Societies need learnt citizens to create, discover and solve problems for them to live better. 

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

Although a child or young person may present with clear anxiety about attending school, in many cases there can be an overlap between worries at school and anxieties about separating from parents or carers(separation anxiety).

It is important to distinguish between school refusal and truancy.

Truancy

• Truancy is widely used to describe children or young people who avoid attending school without their parents’ knowledge or permission.
• Truancy is usually seen as a deliberate act of defiance where the child or young person finds something they would prefer to do rather than attend school.
• Truancy is often done for social reasons.  Several young people will meet up outside of school to be together or socialise.  They may form a truanting group.
• Truancy is sometimes connected with anti-social behaviour.

School refusal

• School refusal is when a child or young person starts to miss school frequently because of vague illnesses or symptoms.
• The symptoms the young person complains about are similar to those associated with worry, for example stomach aches, diarrhoea, nausea, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, vague and general aches and pains, etc.  
• The child or young person shows extreme determination not to attend school, for example reluctance to get dressed, to leave the house or enter the school premises.
• The child or young person appears to be anxious or agitated on the mornings of school attendance.
• The child or young person may have difficulties settling to sleep on school nights.
• The symptoms appear to settle fairly quickly after getting into school.
• These symptoms are worse the night before starting a new school week, after school holidays, and are less obvious during weekends and holidays.
• A child or young person who has a genuine fear of attending school often wants to be on their own at home or outside of school.
• School refusal can present for two main reasons:

                   - Firstly that the child or young person has a phobic reaction either to the                      general school situation or to a particular situation or thing within the                            school.

                   - Secondly, where the child or young person displays a fear of attending                        school   but the main source of the worry is leaving home or separating                        from family.  

Although, on the surface, the two appear distinct, a single cause of the young person’s anxieties can be difficult to establish.

please, see the following links:

http://www.handsonscotland.co.uk/topics/anxiety/school_refusal.html

http://parents.education.govt.nz/secondary-school/your-child-at-school/making-sure-your-child-attends-school/

Parents must maintain the continuous communication with the school going children.

Sometimes, children go to school later than others, so if the child wants to enjoy childhood a little more, then consider allowing that opportunity but not for too long.

Best regards,

Debra

Dear all,

I've found the answers shared here applicable to how to react to students who refuse to learn as well.

I 'm agree with other collegues in their opinions

Generally speaking, no  one on earth cares about the children more than their parents. We all want our sons & daughters to become even more successful than us. When the Summer vacation approaches its end, you can see the younger generation more worried about going to school. I think that this points to the harsh fact that the schools have become "unpleasant" & "dull". This unhealthy condition needs remedial action by those responsible for education at the schools' level.  The parents can "push" but the schools ought to "pull"; it needs two hands to clap !

The depth of the love of parents for their children cannot be measured. It is like no other relationship. It exceeds concern for life itself. The love of a parent for a child is continuous and transcends heartbreak and disappointment.

You're right Dr. Ahmed A. El Tayyan and I agree with you,kids should learn many things including discipline

Along with discipline, children have learn many things from parents.

Yes dear  @Subhash I agree with you.
