'Finally, a lifeline for any parent struggling with school avoidance' RICHIE SADLIER

'Bronagh is a guiding star for exhausted parents who have tried everything' ALLISON KEATING, Chartered Psychologist and author of It's All Too Much

When a child can't face school, family life can quickly become stressful.

In I Can't Go In, psychotherapist Bronagh Starrs explains what school anxiety really is, why it is so often misunderstood, and what can help when pressure, persuasion and encouragement have stopped working.

Drawing on decades of clinical experience, she shows parents how to steady the situation at home, work more effectively with schools, and help young people move back towards safety, confidence and learning.

Compassionate, practical and full of insight, this is the book every parent of a child experiencing school anxiety will wish they'd had sooner.
