Every term the report came home. Attendance: poor. Struggles to separate. Finds drop-off difficult. Not one line about what she was actually doing - the courage it took to get dressed, get in the car, make it to the gate. The effort of holding herself together in a body that was sounding every alarm it had. The system measures what it can see. It can’t see a nervous system in threat mode. It can’t see a child working harder than anyone around her just to stay in the room. If your child’s report card has never reflected what you actually see at 7am - this one’s for you. Save it. Send it to someone who needs it. With love & understanding, - Jules ♥️ #schoolrefusal #schoolanxiety #teenanxiety #teenmentalhealth #kidsmentalhealth
