Authors	Siti Rohana Abdul Hadi; Aida Harlina Abdul Razak; Ek Zakuan Kalil; Wan Salwina Wan Ismail
Abstract	Objective: This case report aims to highlight the importance of parental contribution to the school refusal problem. Methods: We report a case of a 9-year old boy who presented with school refusal behaviour. Results: There was no psychiatry diagnosis made in this patient. Parental issues such as ineffective and inconsistent parenting, and parental marital disharmony contribute significantly to the school refusal behaviour. Conclusion: Parents in particular are important team players in the management of school refusal. Parental issues need to be explored and managed accordingly to ensure good outcome.
