My 7 year old son refuses to go to school?
My 7 year old fights with me in the mornings to get out of bed, take a shower get dressed and go to school?
Sometimes he tries to tell me he is sick with the flu or something else and doesn't want to go to school.

I have to literally sometimes drag him into school kicking and screaming.

How can I get my son to go to school without a fight every morning?

Refusal to go to school is usually caused by shyness, social anxiety or maybe he's been bullied at school.

Instead of fighting with him and dragging him to school maybe sit down and have a talk with him and find out if he's having any trouble at school and why he refuses to go.
