In the thick of our school refusal journey, those two “I can’t”s were mine to live. Every. Single. Day. At least twice a day. (They were also used at any point the “school”word was brought up). I used to think I just needed the right consequence. The right reward. The right timing. What actually changed things was realising her body needed to feel safe first. Everything else came after that. She missed over 100 days in her hardest year. Any many, many more over her full school refusal journey. But we never gave up and I worked hard to sift through all my university mental health work as well as what I was seeing in front of me every day … she successfully graduated high school and is now settled into their first choice of university. The sooner their body feels safe, the sooner that gap between morning and night starts to close. Comment TOOLKIT and I’ll show you exactly how we got through. With hope, Jules ❤️ #schoolrefusal #schoolanxiety #gotoschool #teenmentalhealth #...
