Many families reach out to us after months, sometimes years, of trying to make school work.
They have adjusted routines, reduced expectations, spoken to teachers, sought external support. …And still, the situation continues to deteriorate.
At that point, the question is no longer how to adapt — but whether the current school setting is still appropriate.
Persistent school anxiety or refusal
Emotional or psychological overload linked to school attendance
Gifted children experiencing constant friction within standard school structures

As a family based in Germany, questions around compulsory schooling were one of our biggest concerns. The first conversation helped us understand our situation without feeling rushed into decisions.
Parent, Germany

Our child looked fine from the outside, but school had become emotionally exhausting.
What helped most was finally being taken seriously without drama.
Parent, Europe

We didn’t need promises. We needed someone to help us slow down and think clearly again.
That first conversation made a real difference.
