[QUOTE="Andy, post: 311117, member: 5096"] Just a thought - may not fit since you state she is not on medications. My difficult child took a PRN each school mornings to help ease the anxiety. He stated that it took the edge off of his fears. Once school refusal sets in, the kid can continue to work themselves into a deeper set of anxiety. They do not always recognize a reason - my difficult child had no reason to fear going to school - his anxiety just overtook him and he just could not face it. His PRN of alprazolam took the deep fear away. A morning routine to set the day may work. Have as much ready the night before so there is no rush to find clothes, homework, ect. Allow time to relax - read a book, play a game, whatever. I work very hard to keep those morning problems that crop up and take away our time stay at bay - to get the kids out the door without any of us feeling rushed. I do think down time in the morning to help wake up is a key. medications may not work - but maybe something to have as an option if need be? [/QUOTE]
