À propos de cet audio
Some of the pupils who need the most support are the ones who refuse it.
They say they’re fine. They push adults away. They avoid check-ins, mentoring and pastoral support - then struggle or explode under pressure.
In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, we explore why this happens, through the lens of avoidant attachment. Not as a label, but as a way of understanding why help itself can feel unsafe for some children.
You’ll learn why well-meaning support strategies sometimes backfire, what rejecting help is really communicating, and how small shifts in adult approach can make support feel safer without forcing closeness.
This episode is especially useful for teachers, SENCOs and school leaders working with hard-to-reach pupils who appear independent but struggle beneath the surface.
Plus, we also share practical techniques to use with the pupils you work with - who survive by not needing anyone.
A must-listen if you’ve ever thought: “Why won’t they let me help?”
