Back to EpisodesSchool Refusal Isn't Defiance - It's a Signal
Description
Is your daughter refusing school, waking with tummy aches, or spiralling before the day even begins? You’re not alone and she’s not “just being difficult” ad you are often told.
In this episode I unpack why school anxiety and refusal are actually a nervous system response, not bad behaviour. You’ll learn what your daughter is really signalling, and practical tools you can use in the moment to help her feel safe, seen, and supported.
This episode is real, raw, and filled with hope for you and your daughter.
If today's episode landed for you, if you heard something that made you think yes, that's my daughter, that's exactly what's going on, then I want you to know there's a place where we go deeper on all of this together. It's called WTF - What's The Feeling - and it's my membership for mums who are ready to stop firefighting and start actually understanding what's going on. You'll find the link here. Come and have a look. I think you'll feel right at home.
