Emotionally Based School Avoidance - be kind to parents...
Channel: Pooky Knightsmith Mental Health
Date: 2021-12-08

I've just finished speaking at a webinar about emotionally based school avoidance. I didn't get the chance to share these thoughts from the point of view of a parent of a child who struggled to attend school and I think these thoughts matter... 

(also, hi!  it's been a while since I shared a video, would you like me to come back?)

Here is a link to the webinar if you'd like to watch it back: https://www.bigmarker.com/ma-education1/Emotionally-Based-School-Avoidance-How-can-schools-respond?utm_bmcr_source=SecEd
