“Back-to-school = big transitions for the whole family.”
Ways to ease the shift:

📅 Create a shared family calendar (everyone knows what’s coming).

🕰️ Shift bedtimes/wake-ups gradually (not overnight).

🗣️ Have family check-ins: “What’s one thing you’re excited about? One thing you’re nervous about?”
✨ Small steps = smoother transitions.

“Parents, you’re allowed to feel stressed about back-to-school too.”
You’re juggling: supplies, schedules, sports, meals, bedtimes, emotions (yours + theirs). It’s a LOT.

Parents' Permission slip: You don’t have to do it perfectly. Your calm presence matters more than a perfect routine.

💛 Take care of you so you can take care of them.

Therapy with Kari Feels Like…

“Safe. No pressure to be perfect. We process, we reflect, and sometimes… we laugh at the ridiculousness of life.”

📌 “New school year jitters are normal… but here’s how you can help your child calm them down.”
✨ Tips for parents:

Normalize their feelings: “It makes sense to feel nervous.”

Create routines: Predictability = safety.

Practice calming tools together (deep breaths, grounding games).
💡 Remember: Anxiety is not a sign of weakness—it’s your child’s nervous system adjusting.

Why did Kari become a therapist?

"I became a therapist because of hearing about others past negative experiences with therapists and wanting to change what it means to feel safe in therapy. Recognizing the difference good support can make for others. I want to help and feel this is the best way to do it." -Kari Edge, LMHC-P
