You’ve made it through the first month (or two) of school! Whether it’s been full of meltdowns, late nights, Target runs, and the first round of sniffles — or things have actually gone surprisingly smoothly — you’ve crossed an important milestone. And if you’ve caught yourself Googling phrases like “drip” or “skibidi” just to keep up — you’re doing great!
Each new school year stirs up a mix of emotions — maybe relief at having a little more peace and quiet, alongside the natural worries about how your child will adjust. Or it might bring a touch of grief as the long, unhurried summer days of connection with your littles transitions to nights of homework, sports and activities.
Below is a free Back-to-School Guide (no email needed) to provide some tips and tricks for this season, offering some ideas and resources to facilitate connection and growth in your family. It covers:
- Tools for secure attachment and co-regulation
- Developmental stages (and what to expect)
- How to navigate technology at each age level
