School Can't can leave you questioning your abilities as a parent. Where did I go wrong? What am I missing?  Why can't I work this out? 

You've tried all the well-meaning advice you've received, and if anything, you feel even further away from where you started. 

School Can’t isn’t defiance, laziness, or poor parenting.  
It’s a nervous system response, and it needs a different approach.

I wish I had this four years ago when we first started experiencing school refusal.  I would have felt so much less alone!
