[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 47839"] Is it school phobia? I have an extremely gifted niece, who is now 27 and has made an excellent life after college for herself. however as a middle school / high school student she was physically sick every day. Principal actually came to the house to get her. I spoke with her about my difficult child / teachers / school. She told me that she struggled with all the sickness and pain but just realized one day that she is better than they are (administration) and she was going to do something great with her education. I tried running that by difficult child, no success. But she also said that relaxation such as yoga, massage's, music helped her anxiety. Being pushed and told she isn't sick, when she really was, made it worse. My difficult child hasn't pulled that yet. He actually goes to school with no problem, it is once he walks in the doors the problems begin. Recently within the first 30 minutes. Looking forward to the summer break. When difficult child says he isn't feeling well, I have him take advil and tell him if he really isn't feeling well to call me. Then when he calls, I ask him if he can make it just one more class, he usually agrees. I have also asked school not to call unless he is throwing up, or looks bad. difficult child is not aware of that. Good Luck. I really do believe many of our difficult child's have some type of school phobia due to so much anxiety. I do believe they really are feeling sick and that builds more to their anxiety, wondering what will happen if they feel bad at school. many of the administration level do not believe them. I believe they are just really afraid of what might happen. I found a place recommended by therapist, called Wisconsin Center for Myofacial Release. It is covered by insurance, and it basically is a one hour massage that is paid for by insurance. difficult child loves it, and helps him relax. i like it myself too. Maybe they have a place that does Myofacial release in your area. Hope she feels better. [/QUOTE]
