Emotionally Based School Avoidance - A compassionate and supportive toolkit for you and your child

"Students who genuinely feel cared for by their teachers do better at school. When children feel relationally safe, the learning brain opens wide up. Without felt relational safety, the brain will focus on getting 'safe' rather than learning." - Karen Young (heysigmund.com)

This is a guide that has been developed to help those responsible for the wellbeing of children experiencing school-based anxiety.
This book aims to provide support for coping with school refusal and anxiety, using strategies that have been tried, tested, and found to be effective.

Excerpt from Foreword - by Lisa Spiegel, MA LMHC, Author of Internal Family Systems Therapys with Children
"Dr. Claire Stubbs and her co-authors, Hollie and Kit Szabo, have created an easy-to-read and beautifully illustrated handbook for understanding and supporting children who resist or refuse to go to school. Using brain science and an Internal Family Systems approach, this guide brings a compassionate and intelligent lens to see school refusal as a protective mechanism rather than just acting-out behavior."
