Your child isn’t happy at school. They are protesting in the mornings, or having meltdowns in the afternoons. They tell you that they don’t want to go, and you feel torn between them and the school. School are telling you that the answer is to keep pushing, as you don’t want to reinforce avoidance or behaviour. You feel blamed, and worry that you aren’t doing a good enough job as a parent. It’s starting to dominate everything about your family life, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
You don't know whether you should keep trying, or give up - and if you do, what happens then?
In this course Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist, will talk about what happens when a child is saying they don’t want to go to school.
Naomi draws on her clinical experience to help you learn about the different ways in which children show their distress and the different causes of school attendance problems.
She'll help you understand the different approaches taken by professionals and how they work (or don't work)
You'll have the necessary information to help you make decisions which put your child’s wellbeing first.
This course is available to watch for 12 months after purchase.

Things have gone wrong at school for your teenager, and now it’s like they have nothing left. They have lost their sense of what made life worth living. You don’t know how to help, and sometimes it seems like whatever you do makes things worse. Naomi will explain how burnout happens and what the process of recovery looks like.
Is your autistic child having problems at school? Naomi offers ways to think about the issues, and tools and strategies which will help you make changes for your child.
In this mini course Naomi will talk about school trauma, how it occurs, what makes it worse and how parents can help. You'll leave with a new understanding of what has gone on for your child, why they are still affected by the past, and some ideas of what to do. This course will combine psychological theory with practical strategies and ideas.
Eliza and Naomi talk about the process which parents go through when school stops. How can parents move forward in a positive way and plan an alternative future for themselves and their children?
