“What Parents and Educators Need to Know about School Avoidance”
School avoidance is a sharply increasing phenomenon, with tangible negative effects on children’s wellbeing and education. The factors that come together to make a child consciously avoid seeing their classmates and teachers can be much more complicated than is often assumed. A careful, mindful approach from parents, carers and educators is required to help children return to an environment that may be causing them intense anxiety.
This week’s guide helps to define potential roots and ramifications and what you can do to help your child navigate these obstacles and continue their education.
