My girl by nature is very soft, affectionate and pampered kid. While she was in UKG she struggled alot in writing and we requested the management to retain in UKG one more year as she is very small. But we weren't able to do that and now she is std 2. From the time school reopened she don't write her classwork properly and got feedbacks on it. We tried to make her write but she started to tell she dnt want to go to school. We checked all possibilities but no negative she is saying. She is sayng if I go to school and if I dnt write teachers make me sit in floor and parents are also asking why you dint complete so I dnt want to school . Now it is becoming very difficult to make her go to school daily. She is crying alot. What can we do. We both parents are working in IT and doing wfh too. Kindly provide a solution

First of all, please complain about the teachers responsible. Learning difficulties in children are fairly common and should be assessed by a clinical psychologist to ensure that she gets the kind of support that she needs right now. This stage of school life is very important as this may define her own self worth in the future specially with other kids teasing children with disabilities or hardships.

Hi,
What is the reason behind not writing?please connect with your pediatrician once but before that you also think why she is not being able to write. Is there other type of difficulties also in studies?
If pediatrician suggests, you may visit to a psychiatrist or some other specialist also.
But there is an event of bullying in school. By other parents and the punishment teachers are giving as per the child, that is not appropriate at all. Talk to her teacher and principal too.

Your daughter seems to be experiencing stress and anxiety related to school performance rather than being unwilling to learn. If she feels embarrassed, compared to others, or punished for incomplete work, she may start associating school with fear and avoid going. Avoid forcing, scolding, or repeatedly discussing her writing difficulties. Instead, reassure her that mistakes are okay and praise effort rather than results. It would also be helpful to have a calm discussion with her teacher to understand the classroom situation and explore supportive accommodations.
Next Steps
If her school refusal, crying, or anxiety continues, consider consulting a child psychologist. An assessment can help identify whether there are learning difficulties, performance anxiety, or emotional factors contributing to her distress. You may consult me for professional guidance and support tailored to your child’s needs.

Your daughter’s reluctance to attend school appears to be linked to anxiety and low confidence related to her writing difficulties rather than a dislike of school itself. She seems worried about not completing her work and facing criticism from teachers and parents. At this stage, it is important to reassure her that her efforts matter more than perfect performance, avoid putting additional pressure on her, and provide emotional support. A discussion with her teacher to ensure a supportive classroom environment would be helpful. Given her long-standing struggles with writing, a professional assessment of her learning and writing skills is also recommended to identify any underlying difficulties and provide appropriate support. With patience, encouragement, and the right interventions, her confidence and school attendance are likely to improve.

Hi,
Your daughter's distress may be driven by anxiety about writing and fear of being punished. Speak with her teacher to create a supportive plan without shaming, praise her efforts instead of focusing on mistakes, and practice writing at home in short, fun sessions without pressure. If her fear of school continues, consult a child psychologist to assess for learning or anxiety-related difficulties and provide early support.

This may be a writing problem or learning issue, and school pressure may be making it worse. A child development assessment would help identify the reason and the right support

Thank you for sharing your concern. It sounds like your daughter is experiencing significant stress related to writing tasks and school expectations. When children repeatedly experience difficulty in an area and receive negative feedback, they may begin to avoid school and become emotionally distressed.
I would recommend meeting her class teacher to understand her classroom functioning and discuss supportive strategies rather than focusing only on task completion. It may also be useful to consult a child psychologist or special educator to assess her writing skills and determine whether any learning-related difficulties are contributing to the problem.
In the meantime, try to reduce pressure and criticism around writing at home. Encourage small, achievable writing activities and praise her efforts rather than focusing only on the outcome.
Most importantly, her emotional well-being should be prioritized. With the right support and understanding, many children overcome these challenges successfully.
