S2: Ep 4- Emotional School Based Avoidance

Описание: Join us for a supportive and insightful episode as we explore EBSA Emotionally Based School Avoidance, and the impact it has on children, families, and schools.

This week, there’s no special guest, just an open and honest conversation about what EBSA really means, why it happens, and how we can respond with understanding rather than judgment. We unpack the common signs to look out for, the hidden struggles children may face, and why pressure or punishment often makes things worse.

In this episode, we share practical strategies for parents, carers, and educators, from building trust and reducing anxiety to working collaboratively with schools to create safe, welcoming environments. Most importantly, we shine a light on the importance of compassion, patience, and seeing beyond the behaviour to the need underneath.

Don’t miss this heartfelt discussion about supporting children through one of the toughest challenges they—and their families—can experience.
