The day my daughter stopped going to school, I thought we just needed to get through a rough patch. I didn’t know her brain was in the middle of building a case. Every avoided morning. Every early pickup. Every “just this once.” Filed. Stored. Confirmed. By the time I understood what was actually happening - the nervous system piece, the threat response, why pushing harder was making it worse - we’d lost months. You don’t need to lose those months. 🍒 The Toolkit is in the link in bio. - Jules ♥️ (University mental health trained mum - who’s lived this) #schoolrefusal #schoolanxiety #anxiouskids #teenanxiety #gotoschool
