Most parents come to me after months of trying everything the school suggested. The reward charts. The firm boundaries. The “just get in the car.” None of it worked - because none of it was addressing what was actually happening in their child’s body. School refusal isn’t defiance. It’s not manipulation. It’s a nervous system that has learned that school isn’t safe - and is doing exactly what it’s designed to do. The hard part? You can’t talk a child out of a threat response. You can’t reason with an alarm system. But you can work with it. That’s what the toolkit is for. Comment TOOLKIT and I’ll send it to you. - Jules x #schoolrefusal #schoolanxiety #teenanxiety #kidsmentalhealth #schooldropoff
