The most stuck I’ve ever felt was sitting in yet another office, hearing the same advice I’d already tried, knowing in my gut it wasn’t the missing piece.

School refusal isn’t a behaviour problem you can talk a child out of. 

The standard toolkit can get them back through the door without ever settling what’s driving the refusal. That’s not a failing of the people offering it. It’s a gap in what they were trained to look at.

I worked out what was missing the hard way - from the inside. It’s all in Book One.

The numbers in here aren’t mine. 
The 2018 review is Maynard and colleagues, 435 children across eight studies. 

The one-year CBT follow-up is Bernstein and colleagues, in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. 

Both are walked through in Book One.

Comment TOOLKIT and I’ll send it to you.

With care,

Jules ❤️
