What to Do When Your Child Cries and Refuses to Go to School

Question

How should parents handle their child’s crying and refusal to go to school?

Answer

As a parent, it’s important to learn to understand your child and think from their perspective. After all, children are still young. Being suddenly brought into a completely unfamiliar environment without familiar family members or friends can fill their tiny hearts with fear and insecurity, causing them to feel scared and eventually burst into tears. As a parent, after obtaining the teacher’s consent, you can enter the classroom with your child and wait until they gradually get used to the surroundings. Then, you can leave for a while with a good excuse. If you’re not quite comfortable with this, you can hide in a dark corner and secretly observe.
