When School Feels Impossible

Understanding school avoidance — sometimes called "school can't" — and what actually helps, at home and at school.

What's inside

  • What's really going on when your child can't manage school, and the early signs to look for
  • What helps at home: believing them, calm mornings, and why forcing it backfires
  • A gradual return plan, and the adjustments to ask school for
