It’s that time of year again….back to school!
Back-to-school season can feel like a whirlwind — new routines, new teachers, new anxieties… and that’s just for us moms! ;) For our adopted kids, this time of year can bring extra layers of worry, big feelings, and tricky transitions that other families might not experience.
But here’s the good news — we don’t have to just survive this season, we can actually create a smoother, more peaceful start to the school year, which creates a more peaceful home year-round.
So today, I’m sharing my best tips for helping your child feel prepared, starting them on the right foot each morning, partnering with their teachers, and keeping the peace at home when the school day is done.
Grab your coffee, friend, and let’s jump in.
