Back to School, Back on Track

Rebuilding Routines, Easing Anxiety, and Supporting Every Learner This Fall

‍Summer's unstructured rhythm is ending, and for a lot of families, that shift shows up as short tempers, bedtime battles, and a low hum of dread about the first day. If you're already bracing for it, you're not behind — you're paying attention. This hour is here to help you get ahead of it.

‍Join us for a community webinar with our founders, Dr. Michelle Chung and Dr. Laura Berssenbrugge — parenting experts and Clinical Psychologists with over 20 years of combined experience supporting families through transitions, big and small. Together, they'll walk you through practical, evidence-based tools to reset sleep, ease school-related anxiety, and support executive functioning — for neurodivergent kids and honestly, for every kid navigating something new.

‍✔️ Learn the "reverse taper" — a gentle way to reset sleep and wake times over 1–2 weeks, without a single bedtime battle ✔️ Get the two or three anchor points that matter most in a morning routine (and permission to let the rest flex) ✔️ Understand the difference between typical first-week jitters and anxiety that's asking for more support ✔️ Take home the "Pushed and Held" framework — and a script you can use the first hard morning ✔️ Learn the two common parenting traps that unintentionally reinforce anxiety, and what to do instead ✔️ Discover three concrete executive functioning tools — built for neurodivergent kids, useful for every kid — you can put in place this week ✔️ Get answers to your questions live ✔️ And more‍ ‍

BONUS: All attendees will receive a Back-to-School Take-Home Guide with a routine-building checklist, the co-regulation script, and a one-page summary of the executive functioning tools — something you can keep on the fridge for the first few weeks.

‍ ‍You don't need a perfect routine or a perfectly regulated kid by the first day. You need a plan that's realistic, a script for the hard moments, and a couple of tools that actually work. Let's build that together.
