My 6 year old son, who will soon be 7 in October has suddenly started crying whenever he goes to school. The same school he attended since lkg. Now he is in class 2. This happened a few months back. Every morning, the moment we reach his school, he starts getting real clingy and panicky. He says he's scared of people who will harm him. This fear has extended to his tuition class as well, where there is a small group of around 10-12 children. This act is stressing out all in the family. We have done all we could and have totally run out of ideas. Kindly advice, Thanks.

Dear Lybrate user, It is a very important phase of life for you and your child and I really appreciate the fact that you are seeking professional help regarding the same. Your child might be feeling scare or apprehensive in being with people other than his immediate family. If this is a recent development, there is a probability that something significant has happened or that your child is apprehensive of something bad happening. It is imperative that you talk to your child and ask what exactly is going through his mind, what is he thinking. Make him feel comfortable and secure with your presence and encourage him to speak up what's on his mind. If it still persists, I would advise you to meet a Child Psychologist in person and seek professional help as the professionals are well-trained in dealing with such issues in children. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
