Emotionally Based School Avoidance and the Summer Slump
The long summer break can be a welcome pause for many, but for pupils experiencing Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), it can make returning to school even harder. This guide from Momenta Connect explores the link between EBSA and the “summer slump” — the loss of confidence, structure, and emotional readiness that can occur over the holidays. It offers practical, compassionate strategies to help teachers and school leaders prepare, support, and re-engage pupils as they transition back into the classroom.
