Students who can regulate their emotions learn better, behave better, and feel better.

No one learns when they feel unsafe.

Anxiety shuts down learning, so why do we keep expecting kids to ‘push through’ it?

What if we created safe spaces first? 💙

It’s not skipping school. It’s anxiety.

For some kids, school is too much: too loud, too fast, too overwhelming. It’s not about attitude; it’s about fear.

Maybe the problem isn’t the child. Maybe it’s the system. 💙
