"School neurosis" is one of fear neurosis forms. "School neurosis" is a consequence of disadaptation to school which pours out in impossibility of productive training and interaction with peers and teachers within this educational institution.
"School neurosis" consists in uneasiness and fear of the child, connected with visit of school or separate situations of educational process (the answer at a board, retelling of the text, etc.).
The causes of school neurosis there can be a set. First, specific features of the school student: type of temperament, trait of character. The increased uneasiness, hyper responsibility or carelessness, non-standard of thinking, etc. concern them. Insufficient experience of communication with peers and adults if the child did not attend kindergarten can become the reason.
One more factor of emergence of school fears is violation of adaptation of the child to the school mode. It is difficult for it to get used that it is necessary to sit long in place that it is necessary to answer questions before all schoolmates and to receive for it estimates. There is a discomfort and unwillingness to attend classes.
Sometimes it happens that the child does not experience difficulty of interaction with the teacher: it seems to it that carp at it, give marks below, than at others, lecture more often than others, etc. But most often the causes of school neurosis go from family: if the child is too often abused and punished, or in family there are conflicts between parents, the school student has constant sense of guilt and is afraid to anger and upset parents. Because of it it is terrible to it to receive assessment below, than they expect.
It is quite easy to notice the first symptoms of school neurosis, however quite often parents do not make attempts to somehow correct a situation, considering that it is normal and will pass soon. The most common symptom is that the child does not want to go to school. He thinks out one thousand reasons and excuses, feigns diseases or heats the thermometer to high temperature. The child with school neurosis often forgets (or intentionally leaves) school supplies at home. Coming from school, he avoids questions of school and hides diaries and notebooks from eyes of parents, thinking out the reasons of their absence (at school forgot, the teacher on check took, etc.). At school it is shown in difficulties of communication with other children and with the teacher, in fear of answers at a board, by the increased sweating and a tremor.
Parents should pay attention to similar symptoms and to address in due time the expert. The earlier to start treatment, the it is less than problems in training and communication will be at the child in further life!
