School Avoidance and EBSNA: Supporting with School-Based Anxiety (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243027366)

When a child cannot face school, parents are often left carrying fear, confusion, and impossible choices.
School Avoidance / EBSNA is a compassionate, parent-focused guide to understanding school-based anxiety and emotionally based school non-attendance. Written in clear, reassuring language, it helps parents make sense of what is happening beneath the behaviour - and how to respond with confidence rather than blame.
This book explores:

• Why school can feel overwhelming for some children
• How anxiety shows up at home and in school
• The EBSNA pathway and professional involvement
• Mental health support and low-level CBT in schools
• Attendance law, parental rights, and responsibilities
• Home education as a considered option, not a failure

Grounded in empathy and realism, this guide supports parents to navigate systems, advocate gently, and prioritise emotional wellbeing - without pressure or judgement.
For any parent wondering "What do we do now?"
This book offers understanding, reassurance, and hope.
