Didaskaleinophobia: Fear of Going to School

Abstract

School phobias can be challenging for parents to deal with. Further, up to 5% of children experience fears about going to school. Herein, the Indian parents of a 5-year-old girl child get perturbed by her anxiety and persistent refusals about going to the newly joined school. Consequently, the parents have penned down their child’s psychology and varied emotions regarding the unfamiliar environments she faced in the configuration of a poem.
