About this listen
They’re not being defiant.
They’re not “just refusing.”
They’re overwhelmed — and their nervous system is calling the shots.
In this solo episode, Jackie Hall dives deep into the emotional and physiological roots of “school can’t” — when a child literally cannot face the school day.
We explore:
– Why school environments can feel traumatic to some children
– The 6 key stress categories that stack until they crack
– How to support safety first — not compliance
– And what to do when you’re being told to “just get them there”
For any parent or educator navigating the heartbreak of school-based anxiety and shutdowns — this episode offers clarity, validation, and a way forward.
