The first time, I didn’t know what I know now.
My daughter missed over 100 days of school in a single year before we found our way through it.
It felt endless - like we’d never get mornings back, let alone the rest of her life. She’s at university now, first choice, exactly where she wanted to be.
The second time, a friend’s child started refusing too. Same panic, same mornings, same fear in their voice. But this time I recognised it in week one - not month three, not day one hundred.
We caught the alarm before it had the chance to entrench. That child hasn’t missed a day since.
Same nervous system response.
Two completely different timelines.
The only difference was knowing what to look for and where to actually start.
Wherever you’re at right now - day one or day one hundred - it’s not too late to change the trajectory.
Comment TOOLKIT and I’ll send you what actually worked, both times.
