School Refusal with PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance)? You're Not Alone! Tips for Balancing Needs & Boundaries.

Our daughter struggles with school refusal, and after much searching, we discovered it's linked to Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). 

This video shares our journey of navigating meltdowns, rigid routines, and the constant battle between her needs and "normal" expectations. We'll discuss practical strategies that helped us:

✅ Understand the root causes of her school refusal through the lens of PDA.

✅ Develop a communication style that respects her need for control while setting clear boundaries. 

✅ Create a flexible routine that minimizes anxiety and supports her sense of autonomy. 

✅ Balance her PDA traits with typical childhood development.
