Help! My Child Refuses to Attend School! by Dr. Noel Swanson.
"How do I get my nine-year-old daughter to school? She seems to have tummy aches or headaches constantly, and misses several days of school each week. Any suggestion that she must go and she screams and cries and seems to be genuinely afraid of going to school. What can we do?"
Situations like this require a firm hand. Do not be tempted to wait and hope that she will eventually go to school by herself. If left too long, she may never go back.
At the same time, recognise that her anxiety and distress are genuine. Getting angry at her will not work.
Try to work out if her fear is about going to school (school phobia), leaving you or home (separation anxiety), or going into crowded public places (agoraphobia).
Talk with her teachers. She might be having trouble on the way to school such as bullying, embarrassment, or abused. These things could also be happening once she gets to school. Identify the problems so that you can work with her on them.
Make a doctor appointment for a complete examination. Explain the whole situation to him so he can look for serious illness.
If he rules out an illness, then believe what he says. Don't have a lot of expensive tests. Assume that your child is physically well and needs to go to school. Keep assuring her firmly and confidently that she'll be fine (and so will you) once she arrives. If she still claims of physical ailments, you have two options;
First, get her to school unless you determine that she truly is sick. In that case she would be running a fever, or have nausea and/ or diarrhea, etc. If she just tells you she doesn't feel well, that isn't enough to let her stay home. Adults often go to work with uncomfortable symptoms.
The second option is to believe her. Since she says she is too unwell to go to school, then clearly she is too unwell to be up and about the house. If she is sick then she is sick, and so she goes to bed: lights off, curtains closed, no TV, no special snacks. Ignore her and go about your normal daily routine. Make sure that the option of staying home is boring. If she is not sleeping then, ideally she should be doing some school work. Certainly there should be no friends or visitors to entertain her.
Establish some incentives for her to go to school. Some kind of reward or privilege would be in order.
Be firm and remain calm. Let her know that you expect her to go to school, but don't argue with her if she resists. The goal her is for her to want to go back to school. Once she goes and finds out that she's fine, her previous symptoms should disappear.
If you have no luck with these techniques and fear that she may be seriously depressed or anxious, then call your doctor for a professional referral.

How do I find out what jobs hire felons?
I would like to find a list or something. I am tired of hit and miss, miss, miss!
Finding a list is probably not going to happen but certain fields allow felons and some do not, the Construction industry has a lot of felons employed and retail sales will not hire a felon, there are a lot of companies that do not do background checks so they would not know if you do not tell anyone.~
