[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From PP:

"When school refusal arises, it is clear that the environment is not a good fit for the kid's needs at the moment. It is a cry for help. That level of stress can be quite toxic to the child (and to the rest of the family, as you've noted). It could be sensory related, social anxiety that isn't under control, the energy spent masking, or a myriad of other things."

This is it 100%!!  It's not about home being fun.  It's about school being intolerable for your kid.  Dig in and try and find out the why, and if you can possibly afford it, consider a new environment.  Do not listen to the judgement of those who have never been through this, OP.[/quote]

The situation at school could be stressful and it could also be many other causes and that certainly needs to be worked out. People recommended assessments, IOP, IEP/504, environmental changes and school changes to help with this.

It can also be true that allowing unlimited YouTube videos at home and placing very few demands during the day is likely not helping the situation and probably making things much worse.

Just because it’s a harsh reality doesn’t make it judgmental. [/quote]
