Question Dear Doctor, My son studying upper kinder garden started vomiting 15 days back when he was at school. He vomited nearly 4 times that day. His class teacher immediately rang us up and v took him home after meeting a doctor.He was under medication for a week (and was treated)during which he did not go school.(He was Devomined, and there were some few small worms in his stools.)From then he makes very odd shows every morning to go to school. He continuously says 'Don't send me to school'.We are so concerned about him.He is otherwise continuing to perform well in his class works and home works.After the day he comes out of the school with all smiles. But he is not showing interest to go to school in recent days. He says He doesn't like this school, miss and also his best friends now.Everything was perfect till that vomiting incident.Kindly help us
Answer You have to continue to force him to go to school. Yes, force him to go to school. As you already now, he enjoys it once there. What he does not like is being separated from you, but it is normal to separate from parents (somewhat) at school age, so you must continue to make him go. This should pass after several months.
