What are the reasons why children skip school?

Personal factors: Many children are timid, shy, over-dependent, introverted and emotionally unstable.

Family factors: mainly because the parents have certain bad personality traits, such as the father's lack of self-confidence and the mother's frequent anxiety, especially when the parents are not in harmony, give up on disciplining their children or both parents shirk their educational responsibilities.

Social factors: due to bad school environment and inappropriate teachers, children may be scolded and embarrassed by teachers or classmates due to poor academic performance, make inappropriate friends and be tempted by bad people, etc., which may cause psychological adaptation difficulties to school and thus lose the will and desire to go to school.

What to do if your child skips school

Be prepared for a rainy day and take precautions. Since children skip school because of poor academic performance, parents and teachers should help them improve their studies as soon as they enter school; if children have poor academic performance in the middle of the semester, they should analyze the reasons and take measures to help them catch up. As long as they have good academic performance, truancy will generally not occur.

Early detection and early correction. Before children skip school, there are always signs, such as pretending to be sick or not wanting to talk about school. At this time, parents should be vigilant. As long as timely detection and effective help are provided, truancy can be avoided.

When a child first skips school, he or she will be in great pain and troubled by guilt. At this time, if you can find out (usually it is easy to find out, as long as you check the homework, as long as you observe the expression when you go home, the truth will be exposed), educate and enlighten in time, contact the teacher, and show a sincere welcome attitude, the child will stop and return to school.

Mend the fence after the sheep have been ripped off and take responsibility. Since the child skipped school because of fear of school, especially fear of teachers; then the school, especially the teacher, should resolutely stand up, take responsibility, and do mend the fence after the sheep have been ripped off. Change the harshness towards the child, and at the same time, persuade other students to do the same, act in unison, and welcome the child back to school with a warm, expectant, and welcoming attitude. Never push or push the responsibility onto the child or the parents.

How to prevent children from skipping school

To prevent children from truancy, they should be nurtured with a healthy personality from an early age. 2-3 years old and around 6 years old are critical periods for the formation of personality. At this time, children should not be overly submissive and spoiled. Parents' own behavior and attitude towards their children will directly affect their children's psychological development. Attention should be paid to coordinating the relationship between family members and striving to make their children's personality develop healthily. For children who have already truanted from school, parents should patiently talk and explain to them to find out the external stimuli that induce it, and try to help the children overcome obstacles. If it is due to improper friendship, the child should be stopped from contacting them. If the child is afraid of the teacher, then the teacher has an even greater responsibility to help the child overcome the refusal to study and enable the child to return to kindergarten or school as soon as possible. Parents must not ignore the objective reality of the child's psychological disorder and adopt methods of reprimand and punishment, which is extremely detrimental to the elimination of school phobia. Because this not only cannot fundamentally solve the problem, but may even backfire, causing the child to run away from home. If used by bad people, they will commit crimes. The prognosis of school phobia is good, and as long as attention is paid to educational methods, it can generally be cured.
