My son has been in school for a month now and he still don't like to go. we tried to stay with him, taking away his games, putting him on punishments. but he still don't like to go. He does good through out the day he does all his work and listen to the teacher. It's just gettin him there. He will follow u out the classroom when i go and drop him off. and he will cry. I don't understand why it's taking him so long to get use to it. Do anybody have any tips on this. I would like to know everyone input.
Thanks

I think you are doing the opposite of what you should be doing! Create a reward system! Make a day of the week - like a wednesday, that if he does well in school he gets a Hershey bar. Later you will be able to withdraw the Hershey bar. Also, talk to his teacher, there have been many like your son.

I have to agree - make it positive, not negative.
It sounds like he may have some separation anxiety issues. Not that this is a huge problem for kids his age, but it may take time for him to adjust...say a few months or so.
He listens, interacts, and does his work. Way to go for him! He just loves you, and needs to be reassured. Spend no more than one minute dropping him off. Hunker down, hug him tight, and firmly say, "I love you. I will see you after school." and LEAVE. No looking back, no tearful waves. He will be just fine.
Perhaps on the weekends, you can have "play dates" where other kids his age come over to play. Maybe the social interaction is what he is fearful of. Does he act this way at parties? The park? It may just take time, and a lot of patience.

Hey, I didn't like school either. If he's doing well once he's in class, you really don't need to worry too much.
It sounds more like he has a hard time letting you, his mother, go. For me, that was the worst part of kindergarten. Give him time, he'll get used to his new setup.

You forgot to mention something to us. for what reason has your son given you for not wanting to go,or have you asked that question. true kids learn more easily starting early. May i suggest starting from the begin'n. Keep in mind kids are smart. Try asking your kid for what reason he/she dislike school. are other kids involved. And never ask your kid why of anything,as you should when searching for conclusions. I suspect no one here will or can answer the question you ask. Only you can answer that question. So start by asking your kid for what reason. Never ask them WHY.

Deal with it..Take him to school.. Crying will not hurt him and he will adjust as long as you ignore it and not pay him the attention he is seeking to try to get out of it..
