When a child says they can’t go to school, it’s not a phase. It’s not manipulation. It’s not defiance. It’s distress.

Relate? 😝 This is a perfect example of “equalizing” - a PDA child needing to feel “above” a safe person to get back to perceived safety. This is nervous-system driven behavior. 👉 not goal-oriented 👉 not a “lack of skills” 👉 not even under their conscious control And as parents we have a “decision point” when this happens: we can activate them by trying to teach or correct in the moment OR we can let it gooooooooo… I know this is hard, I know your nervous system is activated, I know it feels
