It's normal for kids to dislike school occasionally. But if your child is consistently unhappy about going, something needs to be done. Here are some reasons why kids hate school---and somw advice to put them back on the road to success:

Worries

The fear of separation(分离) is likely to keep children from enjoying school. It often happens during times of family stress or when a child is about to enter a new school.

With younger kids, watch how you say good-bye those first few days of school. "Have a great day, and I'll pick you up at 2:30" is much better than "Don't worry, I can be here in ten minutes if you need me."

Teach your children to break large work into pieces and think more positively(乐观), instead of thinking they will fail, encourage them to try their best in their learning. Show you are proud of them when they try their best, no matter what grades they get.

Loneliness

Some kids dislike school because they have no friends. Maybe the child is always alone, He often says that he is ill so that he won’t have to go to school or gives away things of high value to others in order to be liked.

Often loneliness problem can be solved by encouraging their social skills. You can teach your child to look confident by smiling and looking others in the eye when he speaks. Try to find something he is good at and encourage his friends to join in the activity, which then lets him shine. This gives the lonely child a role of importance and helps him build friendships.

Mr. Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, “ If anyone asks for me,you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea.”

“OK,Dad,” said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn’t remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.

Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.
