Are you Struggling to Communicate with the School?
|
![]() |
There seems to be a common theme between all the parents that have contacted me and those who communicate on the Facebook Group page. That seems to be failure to recognise this condition as a Mental Health Illness and also, failure for schools to accept this and make adjustments to policies and follow the correct procedure.
Please note that this isnt the case in every school and that there have been some wonderful reports....

I've lost count the number of parents that have contacted me about their bad experiences of school by way of lack of co-operation and understanding. As this was my experience too, I have felt compelled to petition for change. If you feel you would like to sign your name and help make a difference, please click below:
HYPNOSIS

I wanted to share this with you all. It was taken from a parent - with permission, from my Facebook Group Page and thought it may interest your all:
"Well yesterday my 15yo Daughter had her first session of hypnosis. Must admit I was skeptical that it would help but we were both desperate enough to try anything. The counselor is a credentialed mental health nurse and it was obvious very early that she totally unders...

We were kindly asked to appear on ITV This Morning for the 3rd September 2013 but we cannot appear. I have my daughter's psychological tests on Monday... we've waited 4 years to get help and finally this appointment has arrived. I'm so so sure that she is Dyslexic and I feel that my Daughter must come first. She also starts senior school on the 3rd September. She didn't have a great experience during her transition day and I really dont want...

Some of the mums have said to me in the past how nice it would be "if only there was a place to meet others". Whilst the Facebook Group Page has been a fantastic success, parents have a desire to meet other in person. I had the idea to ask mums for the first part of their post-code and then try to come up with something for pairing one another up so that slowly, over time, small groups could come together and meet every so often and put the world to rights.

I thought it was time to try and gather some information together from the families struggling with School Phobia/Refusal and have therefore put together a POLL. Please spend 5 minutes to answer less than 10 questions and help provide some answers....solid answers about your experience of this condition.
BBC Newsround

I've had contact from BBC Newsround on two occasions and have chatted to researchers looking into writing a piece to cover School Refusal. They're looking to speak to families who are dealing with this condition to help put their piece together. Remember that these researchers haven't any idea what this condition is so they're asking us to call/email to help them understand. If you're interested in helping out and PLEASE remember what coverage of this condi...

The FACEBOOK page and website is growing. Should I be sad that this means that the numbers of children suffering is greater or glad, that the website and group page is there to help families in such a distressing time. A catch 22 I think. I'm pleased that if its going to happen anyway that families have some support.
ANDROID APP

A boring Sunday and Im getting over a nasty virus/cold. What better way to spend then day than to research how to create an App for Apple or Android. I suppose you have to have a little bit of a cyber brain to do it and Ive done it. Came up with the idea late last night whilst nursing some sore ribs coughing and less than 24 hours later and a few £s less, Ive managed to get the APP published.
Im sur...
