achaches and headaches.

These symptoms peak in the
morning before school and usually
disappear by noon. About 10% of
children have this problem ‘during

tthe early school years. The cause

is. mainly home-sickness and a
fear of new settings.: .

Ways to help children. get over,
feelings of school-phobia include:
@ Send the child to school every
morning, even if‘she has symp-.
toms. She’ll overcome these fears
by facing them. Once she masters
separation fears, she'll enjoy
school again. .
@ For symptoms at school, ar-
range for the child to lie down. for
10 minutes to regroup. Don *t br-

- ing him home.

@ Help the ciuld spend more time.
with. kirls her own. age. Help her
play at other children’s homes.
and, eventually, to stay overnight
with friends. :

can be stressful. Children need.to’
