Episode 37 - Backpacks, Big Feelings & Calm Tricks
Season 2 of Outside The Therapy Room kicks off with one of the biggest transitions of the year—back to school. In this episode, I’m sharing how to spot the signs of school anxiety in kids (and teens), simple ways to help them process those big feelings, and practical coping tools that actually work. Plus, I’ll walk you through how I get my own family back into routines before the first bell rings—because a smoother schedule means calmer mornings. If back-to-school nerves show up at your house, this episode is packed with strategies to turn chaos into calm and help kids feel ready to take on a new school year.
