This showed up as a question on a test

A young boy who does not like to wake up in the morning, does not like going to school, always complains of stomaches in the morning. When he brought to the school by his FATHER, he clings to his father's arm and does not want to stay.

During class, the child is distracted, daydreams, and does not do this work.

When his MOTHER comes to pick him up, the child does not want to leave school and asks for cookies


Dx?

I ruled out the non-sense ones and came down to

NORMAL BEHAVIOR
SEPARATION ANXIETY
PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS

I'm just shaking my head because I've never seen this scenario ever before

Age isn't really given, so Normal behavior should be ruled out imo.

Separation anxiety would make the former part of the stem correct, not so much the latter.

I'd probably go with Parent Child Relationship problem.

Probably just a testing anomaly that everyone gets, chill.

I think this was an SVU episode.
