Question

The parents of a 12-year-old girl report their daughter is missing an increasing amount of school. They further share that the child says she feels ill and begs to stay home. What action by the parents will be most therapeutic?

Answer 1

This kind of issues in growing children is very persistent. On joining school, they figure that staying at home was more fun and easy as compared to going school and taking classes. So they makeup excuses like feeling ill so they can miss school ans stay at home as long as possible.

In such a situation, parents should start with home tutoring. That way the child would be aware that home is going to be the same as school. It can also motivate children into going school and making new friends.
