research on school phobia or school avoidance

[amanda]

Hello all,

I am a freelance writer working on an article about a childhood anxiety disorder known as "school phobia" or "school refusal" or "school avoidance." My article is aimed at informing parents, pediatricians and educators about the disorder and ways in which it can be treated before it turns into a life-long phobia. I would be very interested in hearing your real life stories about dealing with a child who has this disorder. You may remain anonymous.
