EBSA can look different for each child. Some behaviours may include:
- Frequent absences for minor illnesses or circumstances.
- Often feeling unwell.
- Difficulty separating from parents/carers.
- Difficulties sleeping.
- Friendship issues.
- Changes in personality and mood.
- Emotional volatility including tearfulness, irritability and anger.
- Poor academic attainment.
These behaviours are not necessarily indicators of EBSA and it is always important to consider behaviours in the wider context.
