Jodie Jones on Overcoming School Avoidance

Season 1 Episode 3

Episode 3: Overcoming School Avoidance with Jodie Jones🎙️

This week, I’m joined by our very first guest - Jodie Jones from Nurture Infused Parenting! Jodie is a passionate parenting coach with a background in teaching and SEN education advisory. But her biggest lessons didn’t come from the classroom - they came from her own personal growth & conscious parenting journey.

Jodie's son struggled with anxiety related school avoidance so much that he was placed on a part-time timetable, and Jodie had to step away from her job to support him. What followed was a deeply personal journey of resilience, healing, and transformation. What we dived into:

✨ How Jodie navigated the emotional and practical challenges of school avoidance
 ✨ The school system and strategies that helped her son regain confidence
 ✨ Jodie's golden nuggets of wisdom that parents who are going through this can take away

We also explore:
 🔹 Why school anxiety is more than just “not wanting to go”
 🔹 The impact of nervous system regulation in both parents and children
 🔹 Practical steps to create a supportive environment at home

Jodie’s story is one of hope, empowerment, and the power of conscious parenting. If your child is struggling with school, or you simply want to understand more about anxiety and learning, this episode is for you.
