School avoidance is a silent struggle many parents and young people across Australia face on a daily basis.
Each morning, fraught with feelings of guilt, anxiety, inadequacy, uncertainty and fear, you race the clock to try and make the best decisions for your family.
Do you push your child harder to make them show up at school, no matter how hard it is for you both?
Do you give in and let them stay home alone?
Do you cut back your hours or resign from your job to stay home and support them?
No matter what you choose, parent guilt sets in quickly. Cue the sleepless nights and 3:00 a.m. reruns of everything you think you did wrong that day.
You know that each day represents a challenge for your child or teen, and you want to help them, but you don’t know how.
The good news is, there IS a way forward.
To help get your family back on track (whatever this looks like for you), it’s critically important that you and your child both have access to a safe space for sharing your challenges, hopes and fears.
Working directly with me, you’ll receive personalised guidance to develop strategies that address both your child’s and your own challenges with school avoidance. Drawing on my expertise, I’ll help you uncover practical solutions tailored to your unique situation, empowering you both to build resilience and reconnect with the learning process.
You’ll learn strategies for self-care that you’ll be able to model for your child, encouraging them to develop healthy coping mechanisms in stressful situations.
In a warm, understanding environment, you and your child will gently explore the deeper reasons behind their school avoidance—often revealing layers that go far beyond simple explanations like “I don’t like it there” or “It’s boring.”
Once you understand the why, the real work begins. With my personal commitment and tailored guidance, you and your child will craft strategies to overcome any challenge that comes your way.
Discover your purpose, build resilience, and embrace learning with confidence!
