For some children, going back to school isn’t just “going back to school.” It’s a big transition from a familiar, low-demand environment into a world of academic, social, sensory, and emotional demands.

For neurodivergent children especially, this can show up not only as anxiety, but as irritability, meltdowns, restlessness, avoidance, or defiance in the days leading up to the first day of school, but even in those first few weeks of school too.

Kistin Supernault Garcia, B.Ed., M.Ed., Canadian Certified Counsellor, shares a few ways you can help!

As we step out of summer and towards the start of the school year, it’s important to prepare your child not only for the academic demands ahead, but also for the social experiences that await them.

Feeling comfortable and confident in social situations can make a meaningful difference in a child's school experience.

Our Training in Core Social Skills program helps children and teens ages 7 to 15 understand social interactions, learn and practise important skills through fun, engaging activities, and build meaningful, supportive connections.

Summer can be so fun, but often brings more spontaneity, new experiences, and less routine, which can feel overwhelming for many neurodivergent kids. A little preparation, predictable routines, and moments of regulation (for both kids and parents) can go a long way in helping everyone feel more confident and supported.

You don’t need to create the perfect summer. Small, thoughtful strategies can make all the difference.

When you're caring for everyone else, it's easy to forget to care for yourself. This week, ask yourself: "What's one small thing I can do that helps me feel like me, not just a parent?"

Self-care doesn't have to be big to make a difference and help you show up with more patience, presence, and connection.

Parenting can feel especially difficult when your home has high levels of stress, conflict, or emotional outbursts, or you watch your child struggle, and don’t know how to help. You do not have to navigate it alone.

At Corinne Eckert Child and Adolescent Psychology, we help parents better understand their child’s challenges and respond with confidence. Our Parent Consultation & Coaching sessions are designed to support parents who may be feeling overwhelmed and needing support, or are just unsure how to help their child through emotional or behavioural challenges. Our clinicians provide practical tools, compassionate support, and clear strategies to help restore calm, connection, and stability at home.

We are experienced in supporting a wide range of childhood emotional and behavioural concerns and work alongside families to help children function more successfully in everyday life while helping parents feel more supported and empowered.

We offer in-person sessions in Edmonton and virtual support for families across Alberta. Visit our website or reach out by phone or email to get started! (See our contact info in our bio)

Love that Mattel has introduced the first autistic Barbie! So great that kids can now see themselves in the toys they interact with and look up to. And, a toy that can help others begin to understand a bit about Autism.
