Helping Kids with ADHD, Anxiety, and Emotional Dysregulation Through Back to School Transitions: Conversations That Build Calm

Jami Kirkbride LPC, Parenting Coach, ADHD, DMDD, Sensory Processing, Executive Functioning, and Child Anxiety Season 1 Episode 42

Back-to-school can be a tough transition for any child, but when ADHD, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation are in the mix, it can feel overwhelming for the whole family. The good news? You don’t need another chart or checklist—you need key conversations that build calm and connection.

In this episode, I’ll share ten simple but powerful talks you can have that help your child start the year with more confidence, less chaos, and stronger support around them.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How to create safe, everyday moments that open the door for your child to share honestly
  • Why early conversations with teachers and school staff can make all the difference
  • The often-overlooked family talks that reduce tension and build unity at home
  • How faith-centered conversations can provide the strongest foundation for your child

These conversations are practical, doable, and rooted in hope… so you and your child can walk into the school year feeling prepared and connected.
