For years I did everything right. Every appointment. Every strategy. Every piece of advice from every professional who was supposed to know better than me. And the more I followed it, the more days she missed. Nobody told me that the problem wasn’t my effort. It was the approach. That what looked like defiance was a nervous system in survival mode - and that no amount of pushing was ever going to override that. The day I stopped trying to force her through the door and started understanding what was actually happening in her body - everything began to change. She graduated. First choice university. If you’re in the thick of it right now, doing everything you’ve been told and watching it get worse - this is for you. The School Refusal Recovery Toolkit.
