Ask The Expert: When School Refusal Isn’t Laziness — It’s Anxiety in Disguise.
School refusal is often misunderstood as “laziness.” But for many children, especially in their early school years, it’s actually a sign of underlying anxiety, something they may not have the words to express yet. For expecting parents and those with young children, preparing for your child’s emotional wellbeing starts early. The support, routines, and safe environment we build in the first six years can shape how confidently they handle school transitions later on. In this ATE session, Jessie Liew, Clinical Hypnotherapist & Digital Parenting Expert, will break down the early roots of school-related anxiety and share how parents can proactively support their child long before Primary 1. 📅 Submit your questions from 18–25 November You can ask Jessie about: - Early signs of anxiety in young children (ages 0–6) - What school refusal really means - How bonding, routines, and emotional safety reduce school stress - Emotional preparation tips before starting school - When to seek professional support …and so much more. 💬 Got questions about anxiety or school readiness? Ask away, Parents! No question is too small, and your concerns likely help other parents too. Let’s raise emotionally ready, confident kids... one step at a time. #AskTheExpert
