Therapy Thursday: Back To School Help

For many kids, school starts soon. Going back to school can take an emotional toll on some kids, in this week's Therapy Thursday, Therapist Sierra Williams helps navigate this topic.

Williams says it's not easy for kids to jump from having all the free time they'd like to jump into the structure of school. Because of this, she says as a parent it is important to help your child become aware of their emotions so that they can regulate.

Visual routines, mindfulness, grounding tools, and having a space to talk about what emotions they are feeling are all beneficial for kids.
