A lot of parents worry their child is fundamentally broken. That the way they’re wired is just … who they are now. It’s not. The alarm is real. The suffering is real. But an alarm is not an identity. A child in the middle of school refusal is not a dysregulated nervous system. They’re a developing human in a temporary state that can be worked with. I know because I lived it. And I built something out of the other side of it. University mental health trained, and a mum who’s been there. 💛 Comment TOOLKIT - Jules x #schoolrefusal #schoolanxiety #kidsmentalhealth #childrensmentalhealth #schoolcounselor
