School refusal rarely starts all at once. A child asks to stay home just for today, then the requests come more often, mornings get louder, and the missed days begin to add up. Underneath, there is almost always anxiety, and the avoidance tends to get stronger the longer it continues.
Aspire Psychological Group partners with Franklin Lakes families to understand what is making school feel so hard and to map out a gradual, structured return. Our Upper Saddle River office is a short drive from Franklin Lakes.
Our team looks at the full picture, including what happens at home, at school and with friends, to understand what is driving the avoidance. If you are unsure, a free 10-minute call with our psychologist is a good first step.
