However, some children may find it difficult to integrate into the group due to introverted and unsociable reasons, resulting in a feeling of loneliness and loss. In addition, some children may be bullied or ostracized by their classmates, which can also lead to fear and resistance to school.

At the same time, parents should also encourage their children to communicate with their classmates and help each other adapt to school life together.
