| How old is your son?
Sometimes this phobia about school can be related to having to use the bathroom. Maybe he has had an accident at school.
Or it could be some other very incident that would appear very minor and not a cause of concern to an adult, but is very upsetting for a child. Unfortunately it can take a while to identify what it was, and difficult to question a child.
And often it will be something that not even the teachers notice.
I have a friend whose young daughter says she hates maths (although the child is very good at this subject and finds it easy to understand) - she finally discovered the reason was because during one maths class her daughter had to go to the toilet suddenly. She was very embarrassed about it. Now she's worried during her maths classes that it will happen again, and so she dreads having to do maths. |
