What this one’s for

The tears at the gate. The Sunday-night stomach ache. The pupil who was fine in Year 2 and now can’t cross the threshold. Emotionally based school avoidance isn’t truancy and it isn’t naughtiness — it’s anxiety, and it answers to the right calm, practical steps. The do-it-Monday handbook: what to say, who to involve, and how to build a return that actually holds.
