Parents, we know you are juggling a lot: schedules, homework, worries and more. Establishing consistent daily routines can help families adapt with less stress and more resilience.

At Footholds Therapy Centre, we support families in building personalized routines — from homework habits to mealtimes and bedtime rituals — that foster stability and emotional well-being. A balanced routine isn’t just action steps; it's about creating space for connection, calm, and confidence, for both kids and caregivers.

Need help building one that’s right for your child? Reach out at www.footholds.ca.

As students prepare for the transition back to classrooms, it can bring excitement — but also stress. At Footholds Therapy Centre, we’re here to support families navigating this shift with compassion and expertise. Back-to-school routines play a big role in helping youth feel stable and ready.

This year, let’s focus on emotional readiness, too: maintaining routines, nurturing self-care, and encouraging kids to share what’s on their minds. If you notice lingering anxiety or adjustment challenges, our skilled team is here to guide the way — because every child deserves a calm, confident start.

At Footholds, we see this every day — while we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about, reminding us to slow down, celebrate small victories, and embrace every moment together.
