My child does?t want to go to school and having hatred for his present and previous class teachers. He is 13 years old. His academic performance is going down day by day and he has lost his interest in studies as well as in hobbies. Whenever we talk about School, he gets panic and restless. He is visiting a counsellor for last one month but situation remains same. He is ready to spoil his one year but not ready to go to school at any cost. School authorities say that the child is behaving normally in the school. But my child is saying that he doesn't want to show his problem that?s why he pretends to be normal. He feels negativity in the school. He has developed the feeling of insecurity and wants me to be around him for the whole day. I am a working mother. What to do? Should I leave my job and spend more time with him. Should I change his school or make him to fight with negativity? Please help.

He needs someone who will listen to his problem help him, be with him for 1 or 2 periods in class may Counselor or shadow teacher can do it, before this she has to build a good rapport with him so that he would be able to share his problem, help him to make friends in class ;start rewarding him in front of class for sitting in class even if he will sit for 1period. Teacher should give him a class responsibility. Motivate him to do his favourite activity in activity periods. Teacher's appreciation would definitely motivate him to sit in class.
