September asks a lot of kids. New building, new teacher, new seating plan, new noise. For a neurodivergent child, every one of those changes costs energy before the school day even starts.
Then they come home and fall apart.
Parents often tell us they feel confused by this. School says everything is fine. Home tells a different story. Both are true. Your child held it together all day and let go where they felt safest.
Give it six weeks. Most kids find their footing by mid-October. If things are still hard after that, it is worth looking at what is getting in the way.
We work with families across Fort Saskatchewan and area in person, and with clients across Alberta online. If this sounds like your September, we'd love to connect.
