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.
