Some children are reluctant to go to school or refuse to attend at all. There can be many motives for such behavior and none of them can be ignored.
A child may refuse to go to school due to the fact that it is with great difficulty that he is given the assimilation of educational material. Problems can be with individual academic subjects or with the entire educational process as a whole. In any case, parents need to look for ways out of this situation together with the class teacher.
It may be advisable to organize additional classes in subjects with which the student has difficulties. Seek help from a school psychologist, since difficulties in mastering the educational material are directly related to the low level of development of such mental processes as memory, attention, thinking. Give your child extra activities at home.
In addition to poor academic performance, the reason for the reluctance to go to school may be the student's conflict with any of the participants in the pedagogical process (classmate, teacher). It so happens that classmates, having chosen the weakest and most defenseless child, mock him, thereby asserting themselves to each other. In such situations, the class teacher, psychologist, parents and children themselves should also understand.
Sometimes it is difficult for children to wake up early in the morning, to quickly join the educational process due to the lack of a normal daily routine. If your child goes to bed after midnight, don't be surprised that he refuses to go to school in the morning.
It also happens that a young prodigy is simply not interested in school. Perhaps his abilities are above average, and the class is designed for the "average". Talk to the school management: if possible, transfer your child to a class with a more in-depth study of the subjects of any cycle, or change the school.
If a student is going through adolescence, then his refusal to go to school or endless absences from lessons can be regarded as a desire to assert himself in the eyes of adults, to show independence from anyone, including from school. In this case, patience, friendly friendly conversations between adults and the child will help, but not shouts and edifications.
Demonstrate a positive attitude towards school in the family, emphasize the value and importance of education in the modern world. Strive to make your child aware of the need for school. You should understand that the family environment influences his attitude towards school. It is in asocial families that children most often do not receive a full-fledged education.
