Every school morning you wake up hoping "this is going to be a good day." Your morning is wrecked when your kid wakes up and doesn't want to go to school. These are the mornings you fear. Parents of school refusal kids know what I am talking about. Your day depends on how your kid wakes up. If your kid is good, you're good. If your kid is bad, you're stuck. What do you do? Do you try forcing your kid in the car, take away his/her iPad "forever," go to work and leave him/her at home..... School Refusal parents, you need help!
Join us this Summer for School Refusal Camp. School Refusal Camp is an 8 week class that will help school refusal parents step back, determine the reasons for their child's school refusal behaviors, and develop a step-by-step parenting plan to encourage your child to stay in school all day, everyday. Go to School Refusal Camp this Summer to make next school year the best school year ever!
