Some children experience this problem after just the first week at school.

The fact is that by this time the child begins to realize that his life has changed, and certain circumstances have appeared.

All this provokes stress.

Psychologist Tatyana Vasilkova spoke about this in more detail in an interview with Arguments and Facts .

With such a syndrome, as the doctor noted, there may be a reluctance to continue attending school.

The child may become withdrawn and get sick more often. Whims may also appear in the classroom.

In such situations, it is necessary to communicate more with the child.

It is advisable to discuss not only lessons, but also school events, relationships with classmates, and so on.

It is necessary to show the educational life in a positive way. Also, mothers and fathers should show maximum support and care so that the child feels well.
