Dear Parent,

I hope you can help me, we do not what to do and what is going on with our nearly 15 years old daughter, since she started school she 3 time refused to go to school. We both with husband working so every morning i wake up her to school to give a lift ,but some mornings she just stays in bad and refuses to go to school, this week we had 2 associations like this.When she is in a good mood she promises she wont do it again, but every morning i am waking up her i do not not what to aspect, and its getting out of control, she is very emotional girl, and i am trying by best to be calm and ask her nicely to go to school, but she blocks me and keeps ignoring until time is out and i no choice just to leave her in bad.I readied a lot and did mostly all the advises i could find online for stress dealing anxiety teens, nut for now i am lost and this stage i don´t know what to do. Would i go and try to talk with school and explain what is going on and maybe they will be able to advise and help me? Highly appreciate your help and support.

Hi
Going to the school wont help,
Im not saying anything bad but she might be getting bullied in school maybe that could one reason.
》 speak to her and find out ways to help and tell school
Reason 2 she could be up late on internet and phone and not sleeping enough and to tired to go .
》 put timer on wifi so it will knock off at 10pm.
Reason 3 there is something she isnt telling you...it could be friends or at home or in school.
Or maybe shes just a normal lazy 15 year old girl.
Let me kniw if can help anymore

Alert school immediately... They´ll have met this many times before...they´ll help and advise you. Her head teacher may know something you don´t as yet or will start watching her for. Her lack attendance will have to be explained at some stage.
Its a parents responsibility to get a child into school so you´ll need start getting her up earlier and out. Sit her down, see if she´ll open up about things and then explain you won´t be leaving her home without her anymore. Is she then home alone all day?
Maybe build in a reward system at the same time, something to work towards and enjoy. If you do pocketmoney link it to school attendance perhaps. I used to work in a young offenders centre and clocking in before nine am was a monetary bonus monthly. Be positive rather than negative. Hopefully its just a teenage phase.
