## Caption

If your child has missed weeks - or months - of school, and nothing has worked, this is probably why.

The standard approach to school refusal is graduated exposure. Get them back in, bit by bit. It’s not entirely wrong - but it only works if the nervous system is regulated first.

If your child is in full alarm, exposure doesn’t build confidence. It builds more fear.

The five steps in this carousel are what I used with my own child - who went from 100+ missed days (in one year alone) to attending her first choice university. 

They’re also the foundation of my 7-book toolkit - built specifically for parents who are done waiting for the next appointment and ready to understand what’s actually happening in their child’s nervous system - and what to do about it.

Comment TOOLKIT below and I’ll send you the link.
