As a parent, you naturally want the best for your child. When they begin to struggle with school attendance, it can feel overwhelming and confusing. You may have come across terms like "school refusal" or "school phobia," but newer, more compassionate terms like Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) or Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSNA) are becoming more widely used. These terms highlight a supportive and understanding approach, reassuring you that help is available.
If you're feeling worried, confused, or unsure about how to help your child, you’re not alone. Many families across the UK are navigating similar challenges. The first step toward supporting your child is understanding EBSA and the emotional factors behind it.
