Coping with school refusal

Oners

Hi. I am looking for some advice from any parent who experiences school refusal on a daily basis. My son is 10 and has been school-phobic for the last 2 years. We have made a lot of progress in getting more support for him in and out of school but I am looking for some strategies for myself. I find the constant shadow that school casts over our lives incredibly draining and I would like to know what other parents do to cope. Thanks.

  • Thank you, Longman.

    I think we are making progress within the school.  I removed my son from his previous school back in March because of their failure to recognise his impairments and their inability to make adjustments for him. He is now in a much more supportive school with an EHCP, a one-to-one teaching assistant and lots of input from our OT.

    I was really looking for advice for me.  I find his school refusal very difficult to cope with and I was looking for any advice other parents might be able to give me on how they cope with it.  

    Thanks
