✨ Back-to-school transitions can feel big–for kids and parents.
Whether it’s new routines, new classrooms, or just the shift from summer to structure, it’s normal if things feel a little bumpy.

Gentle reminders for this season:
💜 Give yourself (and your kids) grace — new rhythms take time.
💜 Presence > perfection.
💜 Leave space for play and real joy.

You don’t have to do this perfectly to be doing it well.

➡️ Swipe for encouragement, share with a friend who might need this, and follow our Play Therapist, Stephanie — for more kid tips & play therapy wisdom.
