Finally - Real Help for Parents Facing School Refusal
Book 1 of the School Refusal Recovery Series: Understand What’s Really Happening and How to Help Your Child Take Their First Brave Steps Back to School.
? Based on lived experience + mental health training - your trusted roadmap starts here.
If school mornings feel like a battle - tears, tummy aches, shutdowns, or flat-out refusal - you’re not alone.
This isn’t about being a “bad parent” or raising a “difficult child.”
It’s about anxiety - and this first mini-book will help you finally understand what’s really going on underneath the behaviour, so you can take your first calm, informed step forward.
The First Step in Your Calm, Research-Backed Roadmap to School Refusal Recovery
Inside, you’ll learn what’s really happening beneath the surface when your child resists school - and why pushing through or just making them go often makes things worse in the long run.
This mini-book lays the understanding I wish I had when I was in the thick of it with my own daughter.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all fix - it’s the starting point in a calm, step-by-step process that helps you understand your child’s nervous system, break the cycle of avoidance, and take your first small, supported step forward.
This isn’t just theory. It’s real-world insight for the moments that feel impossible - like when you’re standing in the hallway, shoes in hand, and your child is frozen in fear.
What's Inside:
What’s really driving your child’s refusal - beyond the behaviour you see on the surface.
Why school feels unsafe to your child’s brain and body (and why it’s not defiance).
The cycle of anxiety and avoidance - and how to gently interrupt it.
Discover 20+ reasons your child may be refusing school - so you can start targeting what actually helps
Why pressure often backfires (and what helps instead).
Simple strategies to build emotional safety at home and school.
Small wins you can celebrate today - even if your child doesn’t make it through the school gate yet.

Hi, I'm Jules
Hi, I'm Jules. Mum of 3 teenagers - one of whom has suffered chronic school refusal and school anxiety.
I’m university qualified in Mental Health, but more importantly, I’ve lived this journey with my own child.
When my daughter’s school anxiety was at its peak, I searched everywhere for answers.
I became a relentless researcher - as well as sitting through therapy after therapy with my daughter, and reading everything I could.
Today I'm paying it forward. She has successfully finished school, is studying the degree of her choice - and more importantly - she’s calm, connected, and happy again.
This guide is part of the path that helped us get there. And now, I’m sharing it with you.
I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. It’s truly nice to meet you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Reading about the fight-or-flight response completely changed how I see my child’s school refusal. I realised it’s not defiance - it’s panic. This mini-book helped me shift from frustration to compassion. For the first time, I actually feel like I understand what’s going on - and that means everything.”
