Stomach Aches Before School.The stomach ache is real. And it has a place.

Your child holds their stomach in the morning, and the doctor finds nothing physically wrong. That doesn't mean it's made up. It just sits somewhere else.

What it is

Stomach aches before school are a body tension that often shows up in a child's stomach when the day announces pressure. The pain is real, even when everything checks out medically, because tension in the body creates real sensations. It's the language a child uses to express something they don't have words for yet.

Sound familiar?

On Sunday evening the stomach starts, even though Monday is still hours away.

During the holidays the pain is gone like it was never there, and it's back on the first day of school.

Your child says they really can't go today, and means it.

The exam comes back clear, and you're both standing outside with the same puzzle again.

The moment the decision is made to stay home, the stomach already feels better.

Why more of the same won't fix it.

You explain to your child that nothing bad happens at school. You talk them up, encourage them, promise everything's fine. And the next morning the stomach is tight again, because your reassurance arrives in the head and the pain sits in the body. Under stress, there's no quick line between the two.

A child can't think away what they feel in their body. The more you talk about the stomach ache, the more attention it often gets. What helps isn't another conversation. It's a way to release the tension where it actually sits. And your child doesn't need to be able to explain anything for that to work.

The way out: one session.

Find your desired feeling

With FUNKE, you as the parent go through the exercise first. You feel for yourself what lightness in the stomach could feel like, and place that desired feeling in your heart space. Then you guide your child through the same thing with Sévérine's video guidance, at your own pace, at home on the couch.

Locate the block, don't explain it

In the exercise, your child feels for where something shows up in their body. They don't have to name anything, tell you about school, or put fear into words. Sévérine guides in a way that lets your child just notice the place, playfully and without pressure. You're there the whole time.

Release it and anchor it for 40 days

The exercise becomes a small shared ritual you do over 40 days, a few minutes a day. That gives the tension in the stomach a chance to release again and again, without having to talk about it every morning. The new pattern anchors because it's daily and light.

Common questions.

How do I know if it's a stomach ache or something serious?

The first step is always a medical check, and it sounds like you've already done that. If everything's fine physically and the pain shows up on school days and disappears during holidays, that points to tension. If the stomach ache is really weighing on your child or you're worried, the Pro Juventute helpline at 147 in Switzerland is available anytime.

Does my child have to talk about it?

No. With FUNKE, your child doesn't have to talk about school or feelings. You go first as the parent, and your child follows the exercise with you, with no explaining needed. Sévérine guides through the body, not through questions.

Is one Session enough?

FUNKE isn't a one-time appointment. It's a shared ritual over 40 days. The actual release happens fast, and the daily minutes afterward make sure the lightness stays.

Is this therapy?

No. FUNKE is a body-based exercise for home use, not therapy. If the stomach ache is part of something bigger, like ongoing anxiety or bullying, your child belongs in professional hands. In Switzerland, Pro Juventute at 147 can help.
