Every morning she woke up already losing.
Not lazy.
Not manipulative.
Not choosing this.
Her nervous system had decided school was a threat - and no amount of pushing, bribing or consequences can override a body in full alarm mode.
When I finally understood what was actually happening, everything changed.
Not overnight.
But it changed.
If this sounds like your mornings, comment TOOLKIT below.
