Shared by a parent in Dr. Roseann’s community
Parent: Jaden’s mom
Child: Jaden, age 9
Core struggle: Frequent trips to the school nurse, avoidance of classwork, and being viewed as “escaping” or “not trying”
🔍 The Pattern (Before)
- Jaden was visiting the school nurse multiple times a day with stomachaches
- Most visits happened during writing assignments or independent work
- Teachers described him as avoiding work or shutting down
- School mornings became tense, with growing anxiety and resistance
- Jaden’s mom felt blamed and unsure how to explain what was really happening
💡 What Changed the Approach
Look For Patterns
Instead of focusing on behavior, Jaden’s mom began looking for patterns.
- She noticed nurse visits always followed writing tasks
- Conversations with school staff shifted from compliance to nervous system stress
- Writing and task initiation were identified as primary overload triggers
- Teachers added simple regulation supports before expecting output
- Expectations were adjusted during high-stress moments
🌟 What Changed (After 1 Week)
- Nurse visits dropped from daily to occasional
- Jaden stayed in class during writing with support
- Morning anxiety softened
- Teachers noticed better engagement without pressure
🧠 Why This Worked
- When stress was reduced, Jaden’s brain could re-engage.
- Support replaced punishment during shutdowns.
Triggers were addressed before overload built.
Consistency between home and school created safety.
- Nothing about Jaden changed overnight. But when the environment changed, learning became possible again
