Preferred term

school refusal behavior  

Definition(s)

  • School refusal behavior refers to child-motivated refusal to attend school or difficulties remaining in classes for an entire day. The behavior applies to 5- to 17-year-old children who are completely absent from school, who skip classes or certain sections of a school day, who are chronically tardy to school, or who attend school under intense duress that precipitates pleas for future nonattendance.
