Back-to-school jitters hitting your house? You're not alone!

The transition from summer to back-to-school can feel overwhelming for some kids—and parents, too. New routines, different expectations, sensory overload from busy hallways and cafeterias... It's a LOT for little nervous systems to handle.

Here are OT-approved tips to help you and your child have a smooth back-to-school transition.

💡 Is your child struggling with meltdowns after school, difficulty sitting still in class, or challenges following classroom routines? These could be signs that they need occupational therapy support.

A strong core is essential for kids to sit upright and stay focused in class! Weak core muscles can lead to slouching, fidgeting, and even reduced stamina for seated activities, making it harder for kids to stay engaged in learning.

💡 Core-strengthening activities at home can support better posture and focus in the classroom.

👉 Noticing signs like frequent fidgeting or slumping? Our POTS pediatric occupational therapists can help build core strength and boost classroom endurance!
