Description

The back-to-school transition can feel like a mountain for sensitive kids—new routines, new faces, and new expectations all at once. And it doesn’t have to be a big milestone year for them to feel the weight of it; even returning to the same school can stir up nerves and overwhelm. What feels exciting to some can feel completely daunting to them.


In this episode, we’ll explore why this shift is such a big deal for sensitive kids, what’s really happening beneath the surface, and how you can see the transition from their perspective.


You’ll also get simple, practical ways to help your child feel supported and secure during this change. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about perfect mornings—it’s about finding your own rhythm together.
