My 7 year old niece has developed a disabling fear of going to school. The women in my family all suffered from this as kids, but as adults, though we empathise, don't know the best way to deal. I'm looking for a support group or someone who can step in and give me concrete step-by-step answers/help for dealing. The school has so far not helped much. I've done lots of research and the common denominator is that getting the child to school is the most important step. But how? She's constantly sick, cries uncontrollably, and when she's in school she's become anti-social, sits quiety at recess alone, does not interact with the other kids, where she was always the most outgoing kid in her class. She is extremely bright and can whiz through homework, but in class she's unfocused and very fearful of each and every step of the day, from lunch to recess to math class. Unlike many kids, she's sick all weekend from fear of Monday. Help!
