School avoidance is one of the fastest-growing challenges facing families today, yet few parents know what to do when a child simply can’t bring themselves to walk through the school gates. In this compassionate and practical guide, leading psychotherapist Bronagh Starrs unpacks the hidden drivers of school anxiety and explains why willpower, rewards and pressure rarely work. Drawing on a mix of evidence-based strategies and Bronagh’s own decades of clinical experience, this book offers clear steps to help calm morning panic, rebuild trust and help children feel safe enough to get back to learning again. A lifeline for overwhelmed parents, it brings understanding, hope and a path forward – one small, supported step at a time.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
