Support A Child with Our “School Refusal and Emotionally Based School Avoidance” Activity Pack

School Absenteeism Mindful Support Pack For Parents and Teachers

School refusal and emotionally based school avoidance can be overwhelming for children, families, and the teachers who support them, especially as schools go back and routines shift after the holidays. Our School Absenteeism Activity Support Pack offers a thoughtful collection of mindfulness and creative activities designed to help children regain confidence and overcome barriers to school attendance.

By providing kids with choices, fostering positive routines, and encouraging emotional expression, this pack supports emotional regulation and the development of healthy coping strategies. Whether it’s through fun breathing exercises, creative problem-solving, or reflective journaling, each activity empowers your child to feel in control while easing the challenges they face.

Now is the perfect time to build resilience and strengthen a positive relationship with school as the new term begins.

These materials have been created with a deep understanding of the challenges children face when school feels overwhelming. Grounded in both research and practice, and built using mindfulness, solutions-focused, and strengths-based approaches, they are designed to help children find courage, express their feelings, and begin meaningful conversations, while also supporting the families and educators who walk alongside them.
