3 - Back-to-School Chaos? Use Rituals to Actually Make Life Easier and Help Kids (and Working Parents) Stress Less

Back-to-school season can feel like chaos: new schedules, earlier mornings, endless forms, and kids adjusting to big transitions. But here’s the good news—routines, rituals, and traditions can turn that chaos into calm.

In this episode of The Long Game Parent, host Lauryn Gregg shares how predictable rhythms not only reduce stress during the school year but also strengthen family connection and resilience.

You’ll learn:

• Why routines help kids feel safe and grounded during transitions.

• How to design morning and evening rituals that ease stress for the whole family.

• Simple traditions that make school nights more meaningful—and less rushed.

• Ways to bring grounding routines into your own workday so you show up calmer and more focused.

Back-to-school doesn’t have to mean burnout. With a few intentional rhythms, you can set the tone for a smoother school year—for you and your kids.
