Okay.. This is going to sound harsh - but be the parent. First of all make it clear to your child that he has no say in whether or not he wants to go to school. He must. Period. It's not up for discussion. Be the parent. Go to the school and talk to the new teacher and the office and let them know of the problems you are having. Let your child know you are supportive of his feelings and you are taking action to help him resove his problems. When talking to the school try and come up with creative solutions to help your child adjust to the new teacher and situations and maybe even you and the teacher could do a journal back and forth to communicate everyday or once a week about all concerns. My kindergarten (who is a boy) is also showing problems in school. I gave his teacher a list of questions and concerns. I understand that Kindergaten is a year in which most schools observe children and their habits, so I really asked questions on how to get my child to feel better about school and how I can make him feel more excited about going and how I can get him to participate more. Keep walking him to school, I know how big of a pain it can be. When my oldest was in Kinder I had to walk him and twin toddlers to the school. You just do what you have to and bundle up. Try making it into a game and see if you can break "records" or let him know that you absolutely have only so many minutes to get him to school and that that is all there is. Period, once again he has no choice in thematter. School is his "job", just as being a parent is yours.

Depending on what your ages your sons are, I would recommend tring to get a school counselor involved. As an active parent , I would make an appointment with one, and see if you can figure out why the child is acting up and is all nervous about. Perhaps the teacher has done something ( I mean nothing bad) but something that he feels intimitated by. If it's something serious you need to bring it to the attention fo your principal. Good luck! Otherwise , if that does not help contact a local social worker or child psychologist.

There's a reason why he don't want to go back to school. Is he nervous of the new teacher or did something happen with a classmate? You need to get more information out of him and speak to the teacher about what's going on. You need to get to the bottom of this. He can't quit school at kindergarten.

Same situation as me. I found out that if you have a reward system they want to go to school. In the beginning, for every day he goes to school he gets a small toys. ( gumball machine thing) once he is able to do that start expanding the days. 2,3,4,5,6 etc. Then every month make it a decent thing. He will outgrow this stage.

ask him why he doesn't like school. Could be that he is afraid of the new teacher. In that case have a talk with the school and get to the bottom of it.
