When our children refuse to attend school or show other anxiety related behaviours, it can be difficult for parents to find that balance between properly supporting their needs without over accommodating for their fear. In this episode Dr. Erica Miller, a licensed psychologist and director of Successful School Transitions talks about the effect the pandemic and disruptions to their routine has had on children, what school refusal is and why it can be so triggering for parents, and how we can use techniques like coregulation to stretch our child’s tolerance for coping with challenging emotions and experiences.
