Education » HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE A CHILD WHO REFUSES TO GO TO SCHOOL ? by: Obajichi(f) .:. Mon, 06 Feb, 2023 - 01:16:52:pm GMT
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO ) has given an alarming record of 20 million out - of - school children in Nigeria .

This is owing to reasons on security and poverty.

This is quite understandable because it is only when you are safe that you can send your child to school and education requires money to get school materials etc.


But even more surprising is when a child refuses to go to school for no tangible reason.

Recently a story on social media caught my attention.

A young boy of 12 in Enugu State, Nigeria, refused to go to school days after his parents paid his fees.


His parents had to tell his classmates to come and literarily drag him to school.

Even as he was piggybacked by his excited classmates ( just as it is shown in the picture below) he didn't seem to be happy about it at all.

This news git everyone laughing but on a more serious note every concerned guardian or teacher would ask why he did that.

Money wasn't his excuse , neither was it insecurity as it is for some other children.


It was probably the teachers that took the picture of him and his classmates as they made their little triumphant entry into the school.


If you were his teacher or guardian , how would you handle this child?

@JeremiahYibatoma: If it was an adult, I would have said just continue to pray for him and then look out for his talent or hand work and support him by training him. Not everybody must go to school, so long as he can read and write, there's not much you can do.

But If It is a child, I advise you pray for him and continue to encourage and give him reasons why he should go to school but if he still refuses, don't give up, still engage him in other productive things.

Maybe school is not his calling but if it is, he will eventually Go to school later.

Don't kill yourself over it. Some things are beyond your control. Pick your battles wisely.

May God help us.

**It is well**

To me, the way to handle a child that refuses to go to school is to make him no the reason why he or she should go to school and to also add a little bit of pet inside so that they will be happy to go because if you jst force them to go when they are not ready to go even if they are in class there minds will not be there.

Children can be very funny when it comes to going to school and if care is not taken they won't be serious. As a parent, you need to understand that children will always behave like children so they need strong hands to behave themselves sometimes.

In a situation where your children don't want to go to school, you need to first understand the reason behind them not going to school and that will help you to know what to do. Sometimes children don't want to go to school because they are naughty. It might be because they are being bullied.

Also, don't allow children to dictate to you when you notice that they are being bullied; Find a way to settle it but they shouldn't dictate to you if their reasons are not genuine. Train your children in the way they should go and you will have a rest of mind.

First of all, give a listening ear to the child. Most children are passing one or two things, which that are not what they like sharing with their parents because

seems to take it a sign of weakness. For example, Bullies. There is no school that don't have bullies.

When a child get bullied, it all happens in the mind and that will sometimes lead to the child refusing to go that school to avoid such pain.

And It is very much appreciated if the guardian or the parents of such kids ask for professional help. It is not everything that they know and that will indeed be

very useful for those especially with mental issues.
