The Ripple Effect: Working Together to Understand and Overcome School Anxiety and Avoidance
School avoidance isn’t just “not wanting to go.” It’s anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm—creating ripple effects that impact kids, families, and school teams.
We created The Ripple Effect to give you the clarity, compassion, and practical strategies you need to support students who are struggling to show up.
Inside this guide, you’ll find:
A clear explanation of school anxiety and avoidance (what it is—and what it isn’t)
Practical ways to help with both the feelings and the logistics of school struggles
Scripts and strategies for talking with kids, teens, and school teams
Step-by-step support to build a flexible, personalized return-to-school plan
Tools to calm nervous systems (yours and theirs) when stress is high
Encouragement for every person walking alongside the student
Whether you’re a parent worn out by morning battles, a teacher who feels stuck, or a student who just wants to feel understood—we’re here to help you feel less alone and more equipped.
This is the guide we wish we had when we started helping families navigate school anxiety. Now it’s yours.
