Emotionally-Based School Avoidance
A Compassionate and supportive companion for you and your child
Book •
Claire Stubbs' 'Emotionally-Based School Avoidance' provides a compassionate, practical framework for understanding and responding to school refusal through an IFS-informed lens.
The book explains how avoidance often reflects protective parts responding to perceived threats, and emphasizes relational safety and parental regulation as prerequisites for learning.
It offers strategies for clinicians, parents, and schools to create containment, reduce shame, and collaborate on tailored support plans for children, including considerations for neurodiversity.
Stubbs blends clinical experience with real-world examples to make the book both accessible and applicable for families and professionals.
The work aims to shift responses from coercion to curiosity, honoring the child's internal system while addressing safety and risk.
