## Caption

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.

- Jules ❤️
