Children love going to school . But there may be some children who fall into the habit of missing
school due to various reasons , some of which may be ill health, fear of teachers , and lack of
interest in school activities. Missing school regularly leads to a decline in academic performance
,delay in completing assignments and non participation in extra curricular activities. Parents must
ensure regular attendance of their children in school. Before you seek admission for your child,
ensure that the school has a safe and happy environment. Be in regular touch with teachers to be
aware of your child's consistent behaviour. A chat with the child would give you an insight into her
mental state and knowledge of being subjected to bullying by someone in school. Look for signs if
you feel your child is worried and always be five minutes early to pick her up from school, to ease
anxiety. Help your children to make friends so that they look forward to being at school. After all,
school is a child's second home!
