FInd out what is the most favorite part of his day. There must be something he's learning that he loves. FInd out what he doesn't like - and then work with your child's teacher. Maybe what he doesn't like has nothing to do with school - could be anything. You may also consider his birthday - is he a fall, winter, spring or summer birthday - if he's the youngest in his class - maybe he just isn't ready. Also, with your teacher's (or prinicpal's) help, find out how he learns - by hearing, visually or by doing this hands on. Then each year when they place kids in their classes, your principal can place your child with a teacher who teaches according to the way he learns. Keep communication lines open with your school - and be positive. Read and encourage him to read - because readers make great learners! Good luck to both of you!

I think you need to find out what about school he dislikes. My son loved school for the first 7 years until he hit Junior High and wanted to sleep late and he started getting bored. He's going into high school this year with advance classes so I hope he likes it better. Your son could be bored. You may not get him to like it but you need to get him to learn to tolerate it with a good attitude.

my son is going to the 3rd grade this year, and evey year it's a battle. We finally figured it out. We told him that if he got up to go to school on time without a fuss and went everyday, that on the weekend we would do something special. It worked now we just count down days left in a week. I feel like I know everybody at chucky cheese.....

It's simple. Don't feed him for a full day....and when he complains about it...just say: "sweetie, this is what will happen if you don't go to school and get a good education! You won't be able to get a good job and afford to eat!" That's what I would do at least. Ok, and maybe making it look like you are interested in everything he does at school would help too. Offer to help with homework....just talk to him. He'll get used to it. Or maybe he doesn't have any friends? I don't know...

Most kids never like school. But my suggestion is to tell him that if he goes to school he can become anything he wants when he grows up. But if he doesn't he will never become anything. (he can even be a super hero police officers and firefighters could be considered heros). Also fine fun tv shows and games that help him learn that he likes and suggest them to the school. Also explain to him that school is where he meets most of his friends not going to school means he won't see them ever again. Just try to munipulate the conversation towards his likes and away from his dislikes.

You cant force him to like school, that will only make him hate it more. He's only in 1st grade, give him time to make friends, and find out what subjects or things that he likes to do at school. Be patient, supportive, and encourage him when he finds what he likes.

From 1st grade through a graduate program I never liked school. I honestly don't know if you can make him like it.

I agree with Sonya. Some kids will never like school. But here.s my suggestion. Make sure he has a conducive study area. One that is quiet, with a nice desk, and a nice chair. Make sure there is good natural and indirect lighting, and do research on the best colors for his walls to be. How'd I do?

You can't. You're not with him when he's in school. Does he dislike it because he struggles socially or academically? Is he bored? Could he possibly be visually impaired & frustrated with trying to do schoolwork? Conference with his teacher to see what he/she notices in the classroom. The teacher may be able to shed some additional light on the subject and offer suggestions for ways to approach school with your son.

He's in 1st grade!!!! Of course hes not gonna like it. Maybe he's just not comfortable around the other kids. Maybe he gets bullied on. You can't get him to like it. If he's gonna like it then he will later on, if not then just try to enforce how important it is for his future life.
