We live in Az and Aug 18 I have struggled getting my son in school..Says its a long day and To nosiy. I have had alot of support with school and family. He is very good for teacher when he is there but its getting into class in the morning. I need HELP. Hes a very bright child never gets in trouble at school. HE HAS EVEN LEFT THE SCHOOL GATES . We have had to chase him. What can I do to help my son? I have two other children older and never been faced with this. I take him every day sometimes 3 times aday.... His teacher has given up I was told she is imbarrassed from his behavior in the am time and she gave him all F last semester she gave all A's and 85 % . He was only absent 8 more days than last semester. It not about the grades its about getting him in please help. I have had him to excel , done meds made no differance. As a baby he was in hospital for 3 months had three blood transufions due to IBD. He is better but still had a bad tummy alot.

By all means do not remai with your son in school. While you intend it to be helpful, it will only make the situation worse. If you remain with him, you are unintentionally conveying to him that he 'needs' you there, when in fact he does not.

This sort of situation demands ongoing professional help. If all that was happening is that he resisted going to school but, once there, was fine, you could carry on, focusing simply on getting him to school each day. But trying to leave school is a very unusual behavior. Are you now working with a pediatric mental health professional? This is not the sort of situation that you should try to handle alone.

Sir thank you for ur support. We did not make it in this morning but I agree with u on not being there. Talked to school and we are going to have him do some work after school hours for 30 min. Hopefully he will understand that its just better to go when brother goes. I will post later in week to let everyone  know how he is doing.

Thank you for answering so fast. Yes he is seeing a peds health professional but doesnt seem to help. I will keep bringing him to both school and Doc.  I am a stay home mom and has gone as far as sitting in class daily.. But Teacher does not want me in there. She is a good teacher but wants to teach with out mothers in class. Tomorrow is a new day and will keep positive. Just wants to be home with mom but AZ law is 6 and in school.
Thank u again.
