Subtitled 'How to see your child off to school with a smile again', this book reassures parents that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Parents need to find out what the problem is - not wanting to go to school is likely to be triggered by a particular circumstance. Once that is identified - and the book is helpful in doing that - it gives strategies to cope and much practical advice on talking to your child. There is practical advice on working it out with the school, but if that does not work, the book discusses alternatives - moving school, special types of school and home education.
