I Can't Go In: Understand school anxiety and help your child find a way back to class
School avoidance is one of the fastest-growing challenges facing families today, yet few parents know what to do when a child simply can’t bring themselves to walk through the school gates. In this compassionate and practical guide, leading psychotherapist Bronagh Starrs unpacks the hidden drivers of school anxiety and explains why willpower, rewards and pressure rarely work.
Drawing on a mix of evidence-based strategies and Bronagh’s own decades of clinical experience, this book offers clear steps to help calm morning panic, rebuild trust and help children feel safe enough to get back to learning again.
A lifeline for overwhelmed parents, it brings understanding, hope and a path forward – one small, supported step at a time.
