Patient's question:
My child has just started at a boarding school for half a month. Every time they go to school, they cry, bite their teeth, glare, and tremble. They say it hurts a lot at school. I want to ask if this is normal.Doctor's answer:
A 9-year-old child attending a boarding school is experiencing separation anxiety again, which is likely caused by the mother-child attachment relationship during early childhood. Given that the child expressed extreme distress about going to school, keeping her at the boarding school is currently harmful to her. However, it may benefit her in practicing and expanding her physical and emotional horizons.The above advice is for the question, "My child has been at a boarding school for a month and is always afraid of going to school—what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
