Although Didaskaleinophobia is aphobia or a fear of going to school but not every child who refuse or cries because he don't want to go to school will have this phobia.
your sister is still young and almost children in her age still refuse to be separated from their parents ,either because they are afraid of leaving their parents or afraid of a place full of strangers .
Several symptoms all beside each other might give a diagnose of a phobia ,if she had the phobia she might have also other kinds of phobia too ,she will not sleep well at night ,refuse to be alone night and day ,she will not be happy there in school .
ask the teachers there if she is ok after being there and concentrating well then nothing to be worried about ,it is just a stage and will pass .phobia is more a general condition affecting the whole personality.
