Preferred term

school phobia  

Definition

  • A reluctance or refusal to go to school on the part of a child because of intense anxiety and fear about being there. It involves a dread of the school setting that is out of proportion to any real danger and cannot be relieved by explanations or reassurances that there is nothing to fear. [Source: The Dictionary of Family Psychology and Family Therapy; school phobia]
