Parents should behave reassuringly against school phobia ...
Özay Günsel Children University held an online seminar on how parents should approach their children in the case of school phobia experienced by some students. In the seminar titled “School Phobia and School Rejection of Children” and conducted by Child and Adolescent Psychologist Çağla Akarsel, parents were informed about the sources of school refusal and misbehavior that turned into school phobia.

Parents' worries scare children too...
Stating that the parents' behavior during the school adaptation process facilitates the adaptation process of the child to the school and reduces their anxiety. Çağla Akarsel reminded that it should be kept in mind that the children of anxious parents may also be anxious. Akarsel said, "Parents' anxiety and anxiety about the new environment where they leave their children alone for a long time can trigger the fear of children who start a new environment and shake the sense of trust.

In this process, it was emphasized that mothers and fathers should pay attention to certain issues at the school they will prefer for their children such as how the educational progress is conducted, how self-care processes such as food and sleep function are maintained, and whether there is a reward and punishment system.

Trustworthy behaviors and consistent words reinforce children's confidence ...
Çağla Akarsel emphasized that it is important for parents to behave reassuringly in the process of attending school and to be consistent in their words and behaviors, and to develop and reinforce the sense of trust in children. Saying that children's questions about the school should also be answered patiently, Akarsel said, "Your answers should be short, clear, descriptive and appropriate to age characteristics. The moments of the child's drop-off should not turn into dramatic scenes."
