4/ 😞 Parent stress is real.

πŸ€Ήβ€β™‚οΈ Drop-offs, homework, aftercare: it's a lot. But don’t confuse survival mode with failure. The best gift you can give your kid is a parent modeling balance & boundaries.

3/ πŸ†˜ Watch for anxiety red flags.

😰 Stomachaches before school, irritability, avoiding friends, or trouble sleeping can signal stress.

Check in gently: β€œHow are you feeling about school today?” A small ask can be a big opening.

2/ 😴 Sleep reset matters.

πŸ•– Summer pushes bedtimes late, but school still starts at (on average) at 8am.

🌞🌝Start nudging bedtimes earlier, keep wake times consistent, and dim screens an hour before bed. Morning sunlight helps too.
