| School Phobia/School Refusal
If you are a parent of a teenager with school refusal issues
or a younger child, your responses need to be kind, objective and
consistent. I know from personal
experience that being consistent is very hard as you experience every emotion
from sympathy to anger and everything in between. Being able to explore your feeling,
identifying actions you can take and have clear boundaries for yourself and
your child will really help you cope with the situation better. When you cope better, so will your
child.

children who have school refusal issues.
Hypnotherapy can also be a useful tool for young adults
(teenagers) who have school refusal or school phobia anxieties.
As a teacher and a hypnotherapist (a strange mix you may
think) I see how many people are anxious in a learning situation. Please be assured that all of the above
contexts can be helped with patience, support and someone to talk to.
