How to Prepare Your Child's Nervous System for Back-to-School Success

As summer comes to an end, many children begin experiencing stress related to returning to school.

Changes in routine, academic expectations, sports schedules, and social demands can all impact nervous system regulation.

Signs your child may be struggling include:

• Sleep difficulties
• Increased anxiety
• Emotional outbursts
• Trouble focusing
• Digestive complaints
• Headaches

Preparing early can help ease the transition.

Helpful strategies include:

• Gradually adjusting sleep schedules
• Maintaining hydration
• Encouraging outdoor movement
• Limiting screen time before bed
• Supporting healthy nervous system function
