Scott and Jess dive into the pressing issue of school refusal—a challenge affecting children of all ages. They explore the roots of this behaviour, from the natural separation anxiety seen in toddlers to the compounded social, academic, and emotional pressures faced by older children. They also discuss how parental anxiety can inadvertently reinforce a child’s reluctance to attend school. You’ll get tools to understand, support, and nurture your child through these challenging times. If you are looking for more resources to support your child through school refusal, anxiety and separation struggles, we can help: <a href="https://nurturedfirst.com/shop/separation-and-goodbyes/">Separations & Goodbyes Course</a> – If your child struggles with separation anxiety—whether at school drop-off, with a babysitter, or at bedtime—this course provides the tools and support to make goodbyes easier.<a href="https://nurturedfirst.com/shop/the-school-toolkit/">The School Toolkit</a> – Whether your child is starting a new school, facing challenges at school, or you simply want to help them feel more confident, this toolkit is designed to support them every step of the way.<a href="https://nurturedfirst.com/shop/the-friendship-toolkit/">The Friendship Toolkit</a> – From making new friends to handling friendship ups and downs, this toolkit helps kids navigate social challenges with confidence.<a href="https://nurturedfirst.com/shop/the-worry-toolkit/">The Worry Toolkit</a> – If your child has big worries—about school or anything else—this toolkit offers practical strategies to help them manage anxiety and feel more at ease.<a href="https://nurturedfirst.com/shop/the-worry-toolkit/"> </a>Get 10% OFF parenting courses and kids' printable activities at<a href="https://nurturedfirst.com/courses/"> Nurtured First</a> using the code ROBOTUNICORN.We’d love to hear from you!
