What is School Phobia?

With only a few days left until the start of school, many families have to deal with school phobia problems. School phobia can be explained in its simplest terms as a child's intense refusal to go to school. It is very common in children newly enrolled in school, but it can also be seen in children who distance themselves from school due to problems they experience at school. It is a serious psychological problem and can cause serious problems if not intervened in a timely and correct manner.

Why Does School Phobia Occur?

The main reason for school phobia in children starting school for the first time is the child's never having been separated from the person who has been caring for them, their social life having always revolved around this person, i.e., experiencing separation anxiety. School phobias that emerge in later periods generally develop depending on the problems the child experiences with their teacher or friends at school.
