Product Description
It's time for Honey Maloo to go to school, but she does not want to leave her mom. She tries everything to stay home, from sneaking off the school bus to pretending to be sick, but finds there is no way to avoid school. Honey's mom, her teacher, the music teacher and friends help her to get involved with school lessons and activities so that Honey learns that school can be fun!Separation anxiety is common in young children and can make going to school a trial. This charmingly illustrated tale teaches children coping skills and reminds them that they can love, even miss, their parents and still enjoy school. In addition to providing specific tips for both children and parents, I Don't Want to Go to School offers a great tool to open a dialogue with an anxious child. |

Didn't Like it too much by Y. Grosso (RI)  3 Stars
September 29, 2009
I understand the concept of the book but it didn't work with my son. He actually took the title literally so it actually backfired. I ended up giving the book away.

Great for Preschoolers by Mom of Two (Aliso Viejo, CA)  5 Stars
February 11, 2009
Halfway through preschool my four yr old started having separation anxiety. I tried everything from talking about her feelings to positive reinforcement but nothing worked. It got so bad she would even cry the night before school. My daughter immediately identified with the main character in this book, Honey Maloo. We still read it several times a week. The book has made a positive impact on her and now going to school is fun and non-threatening. Like Honey Maloo, she knows mom is always waiting with big hugs for her when she comes home. I highly recommend it.

An excellent source for little ones! by Glam Mom (Riverside, Ca.) 5 Stars
January 04, 2007
My daughter started to have issues with separation anxiety when she began first grade. After starting the new year, she started refusing to go to school and would cry for hours. It broke my heart to see her this way, and after speaking to her teacher and vice principal, we agreed that it would take some time and that we would all have to work together. I saw this book online and decided to give it a try. First of all, it is geared towards children. The pictures, as well as the story, helped my daughter relate to the main character. We even tried some of the things that the character did to help her feel secure in school. My daughter would bring a picture of us to school, or bring a small teddy bear to look at when she started to feel sad. We also cut a piece of one of my shirts and she would use it to not only dry her tears, but to carry in her pocket. In addition to the book, my daughter did see a child psychologist twice. Although it was a long and tough struggle, I am happy to say that it is now 4 months later and she is doing very well and has adjusted to first grade. What a relief! I recommend this book for those of you who find yourself in the situation that I was in. It is a great supplement to have while working towards helping your child gain that inner strength and courage. I advise you to use as many resources as you can.

It's About Time... by Grace K (Santa Monica, CA) 5 Stars
December 05, 2005
It's about time that a book such as this one hit the shelves!! I work in the public school system and see 'separation anxiety' on a daily basis. Not only do children identify with the main character (what a cutie-pie!), the helpful tips in the book provide parents with the support they need to 'let go'and. I've noticed that many of the foster children in our program enjoy reading this book. All of the adults at my school have purchased copies of this book for their children, as well as, for their families. I can't wait to read more books by this author!!!!!
