Children sometimes tell their parents that they don't want to go to school or that they don't like school. There's various reasons for that. What commonly seems to be the reason for that is that the child hasn't found comfort with certain things at school. It may how a certain friend might be treating them, it maybe how the classroom is run, and it may be simply that they don't want to leave mom or dad. In those situations, it's really about talking to the child and finding out why they feel the way they feel. A lot of times, all the child needs is to talk it out and find out why they don't like school. They say they don't like school and it may could be "I'm not happy with something at school." Once we talk it out, they are able to enjoy their experience at school.
