Didaskaleinophobia: The Fear of Going to School

Didaskaleinophobia is the persistent and irrational fear of going to school.  This phobia is better known as separation anxiety.  A child with this phobia will try every possible way to avoid going to school.  I know this all too well from personal experience.  I gave my mom hell.  I was always sick, I was hurt or I didn’t get enough sleep.  I tried it all, usually it didn’t work, and she would drag me to school kicking and screaming. 

Didaskaleinophobia can be caused by not wanting to leave a parent, changing schools, or anything that can cause immense stress on a child.  Children aren’t capable of handling stressful situations and this can lead to anxiety disorders that turn into a fear of going to school.  I was bullied almost every day and that compounded with my parents’ divorce and chronic pain, so school was the last place I wanted to be.
