School refusal has been an emerging issue over the last few years, as kids struggled to readjust after lockdowns and mental health conditions, like anxiety and depression, continued to increase amongst young people. We know that the best possible option for kids is to go to school every day that they are well, but for some families, it's a huge struggle to get out the door in the morning. We've recently added an episode from the excellent "Parental as Anything" Podcast by Maggie Dent which deals with this issue in our Hub Library if you are dealing with this and looking for help. Have you faced this in your family? How did it emerge, and what did you do about it? What would you tell other parents who are dealing with this issue?
