For a long time I measured everything in days attended.

It felt like the only number that mattered.
The school made sure of that.

But the days attended number kept getting worse - no matter what we did. 
And it took me an embarrassingly long time to realise I was measuring the wrong thing entirely.

When we stopped chasing attendance and started paying attention to her nervous system - everything shifted. 

Not overnight.
But it shifted in a direction it had never shifted before.

She missed over 100 days of school in a single year. 

She’s now in her second year of her first choice university.

The Toolkit is built around every shift that got us there.
