Ep 169: Back to School Transitions: Is Your Child’s Nervous System Ready?

In this Truth Bomb episode, I’m sharing crucial insights about how the back-to-school transition affects your child’s developing nervous system.

As kids head back to the classroom after shorter-than-ideal summer breaks, their bodies may be showing signs of stress through an unintegrated Moro reflex – the primitive startle response that should disappear by 4 months old.

Watch for these red flags:

Sleep disruptions or excessive sleeping

Difficulty focusing on homework

“Deer in headlights” moments

Changes in eating habits

Fight-or-flight responses to everyday situations

I’ll teach you how to support your child by creating device-free evenings, family dinners, and proper rest routines.
