[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 379507, member: 2211"] My difficult child had a few days right around the same age as your son. Just refused to go to school. In teens, we almost anticipate their refusal to go to school, but in little ones, it seems to odd. In my difficult child's case, she was extremely self concious and imagined that people were staring at her or talking about her. It's highly unlikely that was the case and it wasn't until she was in 5th grade that we realized this was her issue. Like you, the principal happened by as we stood in the lobby and took over. I was mortified at the time because difficult child really put up a big fuss - almost temper tantrum, but the principal has seen it all and handled it like the expert she was. By the time difficult child was in 5th grade I requested and evaluation and consulted with a pediatric neurologist who helped by at least explaining what was going on and eventually difficult child started medications, which also helped a bit. I am not one to push or even advocate the use of medications most of the time, but I have to say, that when it's warranted, medications can be a lifesaver for the child and his parents. [/QUOTE]
