Why I Wrote Rosie Refuses 💛

As a teen, I struggled with school anxiety. Those experiences inspired me to become a school counselor and therapist...and eventually write the book I wish I’d had.

Rosie Refuses was written to help children feel understood, support families navigating school refusal, advocate for school counselors, and remind every child that they are never alone. 🌹

Therapy doesn’t take a summer break & neither does growth. ☀️💛

While routines may change and school may be out, emotions, transitions, anxiety, friendships, family dynamics, and life don’t pause for the season.

Summer is a wonderful time to build coping skills, strengthen confidence, and create lasting progress without the added stress of school.

Our team is here all summer long, supporting children, teens, adults, and families every step of the way. 🌿

💭 Good Thoughts by Goode Thoughts | Part 5

Children aren’t meant to conquer their fears in a single day.

Confidence is built through small, repeated steps... not one big leap. Instead of expecting instant success, celebrate every brave attempt.💛

Why do kids seem to unravel a few weeks into summer?

It’s not because they suddenly forgot how to behave. It’s because their nervous systems thrive on predictability.

Kids don’t need every minute scheduled, but they do benefit from a few consistent anchors throughout the day:
✨ A predictable morning routine
✨ Time for free play
✨ One planned outing or activity
✨ A consistent bedtime routine

When children know what to expect, they spend less energy trying to figure out what’s next... and more energy enjoying summer.☀️

A little structure doesn’t take the fun out of summer. It often makes summer feel calmer for everyone. 💛

What “anchor” has made the biggest difference in your house this summer? ⬇️

This book has been years in the making. 🤍

The idea first came to me in college after reflecting on my own struggle with school anxiety in high school. That experience inspired me to become a school counselor and therapist.

The main character, Rosie, is named after a little rose keychain from my grandmother that I carried whenever I was afraid to go to school.

During a snowstorm this January, I finally sat down and wrote the story I’d been carrying with me for years.

Rosie Refuses is for children experiencing school anxiety, for the families supporting them, and in honor of the incredible work school counselors do every day. I hope it helps kids feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. ❤️

A dream years in the making… my first children’s book is officially here! ✨

As a child therapist and school counselor, I have spent years helping children navigate big feelings, and one challenge I see many families face is school anxiety and school refusal. That inspired me to write Rosie Refuses.

This story follows Rosie as she learns to face her fears about going to school one brave step at a time. 💛 It also includes supportive resources and printable activities for children and caregivers.

Writing a children’s book has been a longtime goal of mine, and seeing this dream become a reality is truly surreal. I’m so excited to share Rosie’s story with all of you!

📚 Rosie Refuses is now available on Amazon.

Thank you for all of the love and support. I can’t wait for this book to help children feel seen, understood, and brave.
