My daughter missed over 100 days of school (in one year alone). Not because she didn’t care. Because every reward I tried worked for about a week, then stopped. Motivation can’t override a body that’s decided somewhere is dangerous. Once I understood this, everything changed. She’s at university now - her first choice. If you’re in the “it worked and now it doesn’t” stage, you’re not doing it wrong. You just haven’t gotten to the part that actually works yet. With love, - Jules ♥️ #schoolrefusal #schoolanxiety #teenmentalhealth #kidsmentalhealth #teenanxiety
