After a long school day, your child’s brain needs time to switch gears. Create a small “landing zone” — 10 quiet minutes, a snack, or a walk. That pause helps them reset before diving into homework or family time.

Small transitions = fewer meltdowns later.

Gratitude doesn’t have to be forced. When families model noticing little things — laughter, a meal together, a kind word — kids learn to anchor in what’s steady when life feels unpredictable.

Swap surface-level questions for ones that invite connection. The goal isn’t the answer — it’s the moment of openness.

November is full of transitions — new schedules, more activities, and shifting emotions. This week, try slowing down for a 2-minute emotional check-in with your child after school. You’ll be amazed by what you learn when you listen, not just ask.

Halloween doesn’t have to be chaos 🎃

With prep, trick-or-treating can be magical ✨ not stressful.

🍁 Fall play can be therapeutic—especially for kids with ADHD. Jumping in leaves, running through a park, or simply crunching acorns underfoot gives a natural sensory break. Energy released = calmer mind.
