I'm having problems with my 6 years old not wanting to go to school in the morning, I have asked CB if there is something wrong or bullying happening at the school, and CB said no nothing like that's happening, I even phone the school to double check nothing is happening and they confirmed nothing was going on. Anyone know tips to try get a 6 years old to go to school in the morning.

Are they worried about something? Worried about leaving you?

Pick them up and carry them?

My dd quite often says she doesnt want to go to school but doesn't give any reasons. She just doesn't like being woken up and made to get out of bed I don't think! (She goes to before school club).
I just tell her she will go in her pjs and I'll take her toothbrush if she doesnt get sorted. So far this has worked well!
(I have also checked with school and she is perfectly happy once there, has lots of friends etc).

Maybe she's worried leaving me, but she was perfectly fine when she first started school, I feel there's something going on, but the school won't tell me anything. I drop and pick her up every day, as I'm working from home for now, until I have to go back. But even when I'm work I'm still able to drop and pick her up from school. Every time I ask her how's her day has been she breaks down and starts saying "mummy I don't want to go to school anymore". I just don't know how to find out what's wrong. My 9 and 11 year old go to the same school as my 6 years old, and they both said they don't see anything happen at break-time or lunchtime.

Yeah the school have the same about CB bring at school, very happy loves playing with her friends, very chatty in class and in group things. I'm just trying to figure what's the best way. My eldest 11 years old she walks to school on her own, and I walk with the 9 year old and give my 6 year old a piggy back up to the school. It seems every time she hears the school bell goes she starts crying and saying "no go to school today", the teacher will come out and comfortable her and she walks in perfectly fine with the teacher.
