Quick Glance: Parents' Struggle Against School Refusal Due to Fear for Children
- Kerry Grantham, a parent from Bray, Co Wicklow, searches the dictionary for the term 'school refusal', but she does not find the definition.
- Education experts use various terms for distressed young people who feel unable to attend school - school refusal, school phobia, or school reluctance - all agreeing that this is becoming a growing concern.
- Parents face significant challenges as their children may be anxious, have an undiagnosed condition, experience bullying, or encounter issues with teachers. Support is often lacking, leading to battles to access alternative services.
- Grantham continues to worry about the future, not just her son's education, but also the developmental impact. When she had to return to work, he would spend time alone in his room. She once confided in a friend that it felt like he had been forgotten by the world.
