   When the 12yo is having a rough morning & cannot make herself get out of the car when we pull up to #school, we try our very best to talk it out, and when that doesn't work, we drive away from school & go to a new-to-us used #bookstore & have #coffee & peruse #books for an hour before driving back to school & trying again, this time successfully.

   She was 2 1/2 hours late to school.
   I'm teaching her that caring for her emotional health is more important than conformity.

     @courtcan The one time I was adamant about wanting to avoid school was when I had a horrible music teacher in Turkey; a tyrant. Any idea if there’s someone that’s a problem there?

     (And good on you for not forcing her. Sending lots of love + hoping it gets better soon.)
