Backpacks are ready, lunch boxes are packed, and in my house… one little heart is beating a little faster. My own child is feeling those first-day back to school jitters, and honestly—I am too.
Whether your kids are bubbling with excitement or quietly nervous about stepping into a new classroom, know this: Both feelings are normal!
Here’s a quick calm-down we’ll be using in my house tomorrow morning: We’ll stand together, take 3 slow breaths—in for 4, out for 6—and remind ourselves, “I can handle this.”
If you need a quick, kid-friendly calm-down for back to school, I posted one last week you can use right away. It’s short, gentle, and works for those “too many butterflies” moments: https://youtu.be/sgMQbcEv60k

You’ve got this. And so do they. 💛
