Transitions have a way of stirring up big feelings—for our kids and for us. Back to school isn’t just about new routines or packing lunches; it’s an emotional event that can leave the whole family feeling unsettled. The good news? None of this means you’re failing, it just means your nervous system is adjusting. In today’s episode of Parenting Through Connection, I dive into what’s really happening during transition seasons and how you can navigate them with more compassion, connection, and ease. Together, we’ll explore simple ways to support both your child and yourself through this time.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• What’s really happening beneath the surface when kids (and parents) struggle with change.
• The “transition wall” and why even positive changes can leave your family feeling unsettled
• A surprising way to turn meltdowns into moments of deeper connection.
• Simple rituals that can bring calm and safety to the chaos of new routines.
• How giving yourself permission to feel it all creates space for growth.

As you step into this new season, I want you to remember: struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing. Transitions are messy, but they’re also opportunities for deeper connection if we let them be. If this conversation resonated with you, I’d love for you to check out my signature program, which offers self-paced learning and coaching support designed to help parents feel grounded, confident, and connected in real life moments.

You don’t have to do this alone. Parenting is hard work, and having support makes all the difference.
