Back to School - Setting Up for Success
•
Cassie Wilcox & Erica Scheifflee
It’s pep talk time! And this isn’t just for the kids going back to school…it’s for the parents too (maybe even more so)!
In this “back to school episode”, we will:
- Cover the science behind our stress response to transitions as a form of change
- Explore new ways of thinking about transitions as multi-faceted processes
- Explore how to set ourselves up for success through intention-setting and managing expectations of ourselves and our kids
- Discuss common barriers, pitfalls, or “bottlenecks” and offer supportive strategies
If you are ready to take on the new school year with your family in ways that support greater flow and ease, be sure to tune in. Oh, and if YOU have a personal struggle with the school year transition that was NOT covered, we are ready to unpack it with you! E-mail us at edgeofthenest@gmail.com.
