The morning she won’t get dressed isn’t defiance. It’s a body that’s decided school isn’t safe - and is bracing for it. That’s the part most of us miss. We see a kid digging her heels in. What’s actually happening is an alarm going off underneath the behaviour, faster than she can explain and faster than she can stop. So we respond to the behaviour. We push, we negotiate, we lose the morning. And nothing shifts, because the alarm was never the behaviour. When you respond to the alarm instead - everything changes. 🍒 Comment TOOLKIT and I’ll send you where to start. - Jules ♥️ #schoolrefusal #schoolanxiety #teenanxiety #gotoschool #teenmentalhealth
