Six-year-old Mora regularly complains of nausea and stomachaches in the morning before school. She cries and refuses to get on the bus. In one-third of children like Mora with school refusal, the real fear is .A) maternal separation
B) the possibility of personal harm
C) an overly critical teacher
D) academic failure

The correct answer is A) maternal separation.

Explanation:

The mother is undoubtedly the person that children turn to most in their first stage of life, and some develop it more than others due to various issues: attachment and consent at an early age ends up inducing them to this type of actions. At the time of changes such as going to school, they develop a feeling of fear because they get used to motherly love. Over the years they tend to leave that fear, which is why it is considered to be a normal stage in people's lives.

The answer is A) maternal separation.

Explanation:

Studies have proven that whenever kids anticipate that they will go to school and be separated from their mothers for some period of a day, it causes them to have nausea, and pains in their tummies, or stomachaches: generally, even though kids could be excited about going to school, the fear of maternal separation and leaving the house causes them to have anxiety about having to be away from their mothers.
