School Refusal and Avoidance: When Kids Won’t Go to School

This class is currently offered via Zoom Webinar.

Join clinical psychologist, Dr. Hershfield, for a presentation on school refusal/avoidance. 

With the new school year upon us, many parents are struggling with a child refusing to attend school. For some, these struggles may only present in the first few weeks of school–but for others, they may continue through the semester. When children refuse to attend school, it can be disruptive and stressful for the entire family. This talk will explore the various drivers for such behavior, and include practical techniques that parents can use to address such behavior and help get children back into the classroom.

45-min with Q&A; For parents of children ages 6-12.
