School problems
When everyday school life becomes a challenge
You may notice that your child no longer feels like going to school, that their grades are deteriorating or that they are particularly quiet or irritable after school. Counselling services, support options and support from the school itself can help to improve the situation.
Signs that support is needed
- Sudden drop in performance: If grades get worse even though the child was previously doing well.
- Refusal to go to school: If children or young people regularly find excuses not to go to school (e.g. frequent "stomach aches" or "headaches").
- Social isolation or bullying: If your child withdraws, has no friends or feels excluded from the class community.
- Anxiety or restlessness before class tests: If the anxiety before exams becomes so strong that sleeping problems or nervousness occur.
- Conflicts with teachers or classmates: If there are regular arguments with teachers or in the class community.
What you can do now
- Seek advice from the school: Arrange a meeting with the class teacher, school social worker or school psychologist. Together, causes can be identified and solutions developed.
- Use counseling services: Counseling centers for school problems help to analyze the situation and find support options - e.g. tutoring or learning support.
- Organize learning support: Sometimes targeted tutoring or learning support helps. You can apply for financial support for this via the education and participation package (BuT) if you receive social benefits.
