School refusal isn't defiance—it's often a child's way of communicating distress. 💙
5 Strategies for Supporting School Refusal
1. Understand the Root Causes - Look beyond behavior to identify underlying fears or challenges
2. Create Supportive Morning Routines - Establish calm, predictable start to the day
3. Collaborate with School Staff - Work together to create a supportive school environment
4. Use Gradual Reintegration - Take small, manageable steps back to full attendance
5. Seek Professional Support - Don't hesitate to involve mental health experts
Every child's journey back to school is unique. Patience and understanding are key. ✨
