352- Not Just a Phase: Getting to the Root of School Refusal with Eli Harwood
You are listening to Voices of Your Village, and today's episode is such a grounding one. I got to sit down with my dear friend, Eli Harwood, who you may know as @attachmentnerd over on Instagram, to dive into a topic that comes up so often, school refusal. If you've ever had a kid clinging to the doorframe or break down in tears before drop off, or you've wondered when to push and when to pause, this one's for you. Eli brings her therapist lens and lived experience to this conversation with so much empathy and wisdom and humor. We talk about what's really going on beneath school refusal, how to meet our kids with connection and structure, and why scaffolding their nervous system matters more than forcing compliance. This episode is full of practical strategies and those aha moments that help us show up differently for our kids and ourselves.
Y'all, we are so close to Big Kids, Bigger Feelings- my next book publishing. I'm so jazzed for it to get into your hands.
