41. Back-to-School Success for ADHD or Emotionally Dysregulated Kids-- A Parent's Guide

Back-to-school can bring excitement, but it can also bring stress...especially if your child has ADHD, anxiety, or big emotions. Early mornings, new routines, and unexpected changes can leave both kids and parents feeling overwhelmed. In this episode, we’ll talk about why transitions can be so challenging for ADHD and emotionally dysregulated kids... and what you can do to make the shift smoother and more peaceful for everyone.

I’ll share three simple but powerful strategies to help you start the school year on the right foot... from easing into routines before the first day, to creating meaningful connection moments like my favorite “back-to-school date” tradition, to partnering with the school so your child feels supported. You’ll also get encouragement to see your child’s unique wiring as a strength and to step into the year with calm, confidence, and connection.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why back-to-school transitions can trigger overwhelm in ADHD and emotionally intense kids
  • One small change you can make this week to ease morning stress
  • How a simple back-to-school tradition can spark deeper conversations with your child
  • The key to building a strong partnership with your child’s teacher from day one
