The most widespread explanation for cases of school refusal is the 'Separation Anxiety Disorder'.
Explanation:
- Children tend to get attached to their parents in their early age and find it fearful to imagine their life without their parents being around.
- This later becomes the reason for the children to refuse to go to school as their little brain comprehends it as a session of separation from their parents.
- This anxiety is severe in some children and is termed as 'separation anxiety disorder'.
