You are working with Michael, a six-year-old boy in first grade. His parents are seeking assistance. Michael is very reluctant to go to school. It is now October and his parents have struggled each day to get their son to go to school. Once he is there he cries and says he wants to go home. On a couple of occasions, he has run out of school and started on the way home before the staff could catch him. He spends a good part of the school day in the health room or office because he refuses to stay in his classroom, and the parents have been called to take him home three times because he was so upset. When the school counselor and principal talk to him, he only says he misses his parents and wants to be with them. Background: The parents are both employed at local factories as office and production workers. They say their child had a hard time getting used to kindergarten but eventually accepted it. They have no idea why he has such a tough time this school year. The mother's father passed away during the previous summer. They need to solve this problem quickly because the calls from school are affecting their work.
