How can I help stop my kid’s school refusal?
Step in quickly. Missed schoolwork and social experiences snowball, making school avoidance a problem that grows larger and more difficult to control as it rolls along

identify issues. Try to find out why your child is avoiding school. Gently ask, “What is making school feel hard?” Is your child struggling socially or being bullied? Afraid of having a panic attack in the classroom? Worried about his academic performance or public speaking? Fearful of being separated from you

Communicate and collaborate. Your child’s school is a key partner in combating school avoidance. Contact the school guidance counselor, psychologist, or social worker to share what you know about why your child is struggling to attend school.

Be firm about school. Be empathetic but firm that your child or teen must attend school. Tell her you are confident she can face her fears. Let your child know that while physical symptoms of anxiety, such as stomachaches, headaches, and fatigue, are certainly unpleasant, they are not dangerous. 

* Make staying home boring.No unfettered access to screens of any kind and no sleeping or lounging in bed unless genuinely sick. Be clear that if your child or teen does not attend school, you will be collecting all screens and/or turning off data and home wifi. Then follow through!

"🧠 Navigating the ADHD rollercoaster 🎢 with my friends: One day they are on the same wavelength, the next we're in different galaxies 🌌.

Making and keeping friends can be challenging for individuals with ADHD due to various factors related to the condition. Here are some of the reasons why:
* Inattention and Forgetfulness: People with ADHD often struggle with inattention and forgetfulness. They may have difficulty focusing on conversations, which can make it seem like they're not interested in what their friends are saying. They might also forget important details about plans or commitments, leading to frustration and misunderstandings.
* Impulsivity: Impulsivity is a common symptom of ADHD. This can lead to impulsive comments or actions that might be off-putting to others. Friends may find it hard to predict how someone with ADHD will react in certain situations, which can create anxiety or tension.
* Time Management: Individuals with ADHD often struggle with time management and punctuality. They might be late for meetings, forget to return calls or texts, or frequently reschedule plans. This can be frustrating for friends who feel their time is not respected.
* Hyperactivity: In some cases, hyperactivity associated with ADHD can make social situations challenging. Friends may find it difficult to keep up with the person's energy levels or may be bothered by fidgeting or restlessness.
* Rejection Sensitivity: Many individuals with ADHD have heightened sensitivity to perceived rejection or criticism. This can lead to overreacting or misinterpreting social cues, making it harder to maintain stable and harmonious relationships.
* Social Skills: ADHD can affect the development of social skills. Individuals may struggle with conversation skills, like taking turns, listening actively, or empathizing with others. These deficits can make it difficult to connect with others on a deeper level.

@Kim Gross
Tone of voice matters when connecting with your kids because it significantly impacts how your message is perceived and received by them. The tone of voice conveys emotions, attitudes, and intentions, and it can greatly influence the way children interpret and respond to what you say. A warm, calm, and supportive tone can create a sense of security and trust, making your children feel comfortable opening up to you and sharing their thoughts and feelings. On the other hand, a harsh, critical, or dismissive tone can lead to feelings of fear, defensiveness, and distance, hindering effective communication and potentially damaging the parent-child relationship.

Be aware of your emotions: Before engaging with your children, take a moment to check in with yourself and assess your emotions. If you’re stressed take a moment!

Practice active listening: Listen attentively to what your children are saying, and respond with empathy and interest.

Be mindful of body language: Tone of voice is not just about the words you say but also about your body language. Maintain an open and approachable posture, make eye contact, and use gestures that show you are engaged and present.
