Abstract
It is known that younger school children who can not attend primary school are mainly due to anxiety about separation from their mothers. Case 1 : T.M., an eight year-old girl who had a sister and a brother did not like her grandmother. She was suffering from bronchial asthma and did not attend school. She would not separate herself from her mother, and the school-nurse let her stay in her office. Case 2 : K.E., a six year-old girl who had 3 brothers did not attend school and one of her brothers was also a school refuser. These 3 children stayed together in the school-nurse's office and later moved to the annex room. The 2 girls were receiving the sand-play therapy at this hospital 33 and 25 times for 2 years respectively. After having cooperation with their school teachers and school counsellors by the consent of their parents, they started going to their classes and joining school activities. However, they refused to go into their class rooms recently when they were forced to stay there longer by their teachers. We should establish better ralationship and secure more cooperation with school staff and school counsellors, especially in the care of lower grade school children with school refusal.
