September can feel like a whirlwind—new routines, school stress, and shorter days.
Family bonding often takes a back seat — but this is exactly when connection is most protective.
📅 Schedule simple moments:
✔ Weekly fall picnic or apple-picking outing
✔ Unplugged family dinner night
✔ "Cozy hour" — books, cocoa, no screens
💡 Consistent, low-pressure time together helps kids (and parents) regulate stress, boost immune function, and feel emotionally safe.
