My almost 15 year old daughter has anxiety and depression with SI/SH. She has severe school avoidance. School seems to one of her biggest triggers because it is loud, too many people, bright fluorescent lights. Not to mention she feels she has had an academic digression. We are starting online school soon. She will not go on the camera or speak through the microphone for virtual learning. There are many online schools maybe he could try a different one. Some even allow online school with a couple of hours inside a school for a class or two. Otherwise, I’ve tried to focus on what is going right… she still wants to attend school. She has recently started DBT therapy and I am hopeful that will her move in the right direction.
I question what role Covid 19 has affected her? When schools shut down and teachers had to scramble to arrange school virtually, my daughter would have been in transition for middle school, from 5th -6th grade. She did get covid as well. Could this be a long haulers in a teen?
