In this episode, I talk about why going back to school after winter break can feel harder than expected, especially for kids who already find school challenging. We explore why this transition takes time, how pressure and fatigue often show up before kids feel regulated again, and what parents can do right now to better support the same kid they had in December. Instead of chasing “new year” outcomes, I invite you to think differently about January—focusing on support, understanding, and small adjustments that can make this transition smoother for your child AND for you.
