Hi @grandmamma4 , I'm really sorry to hear that - school refusal is something we hear about a lot from other parents here. 

 

Can I ask how old your grandson is? Has going to school always been a problem for him, or is this something more recent? 

 

We have some resources here that are more general that might be helpful- they look at reasons young people may be refusing to go to school and have some ideas for how to help them 

 

Looking forward to hearing from you @grandmamma4
