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.

  • My 15 year old autistic son in his final year and total none attendance. Honestly feel your pain. Daily meltdowns.  I have had to back off for my own sanity and that of my other children. The school are doing very little i think they have given up. He is so clever its such a waste. 

    I have asked CAMHS to help me find someone who can home school him like a home tutor. I will let you know how this unfolds. My son is one of 5 children 3 of which are spectrum but it doesnt impact their lives but my 15 year old really struggles. So sad he is so clever
