Morning and evening routines can be tough for kids who struggle with executive functioning.

To help those routines go smoothly, create a "visual schedule."

Go around with your child and do morning routine tasks together and take pictures of each step: 🪥brushing teeth, 👚picking out an outfit, 🍊eating breakfast, 🎒packing their backpack.

Do the same for the afternoon / evening routines and make a board with photos of each step in the routines. 📸

Remind your child to look at the chart each day during the times that they should go from one step to the next and these visuals will help keep moving them forward. ✅

The beginning of the school year is a great time to read the book "The Magical Yet" by Angela DiTerlizzi. 🌟

New experiences can be frustrating, but just a small shift in mindset from "I can't do that" to "I can't do that...YET" makes all the difference.

Here's a tip: Ask your child what is something they can't do "YET?"

📋 Make a goal board and with a reminders to check-in in a few weeks, a month, 6 months, and then at the end of the school year. They will be amazed at how far they've come! 💜

The first week of school is a BIG transition! 🎒🧠

New routines, new expectations, and lots of information to process can leave kids feeling worn out by the time they get home.

Here's a tip: Build in a little “reset” time before homework. 🥨💧🏃‍♀️

A snack, some water, movement, or 15 minutes to decompress can help their brains transition from school mode to homework mode.

💜 A little extra grace goes a long way while everyone settles into the new routine.

✨ Mindfulness Week was the perfect way to wrap up our summer themes. ✨

This week, our students were reminded to slow down, be present, and appreciate the little moments. Alongside plenty of learning and laughter, we made time to pause, reflect, and enjoy being together.

What a beautiful way to end a wonderful summer at HCA! Wishing everyone a peaceful and restful weekend! 💜

Prepare the brain, not just the backpack. 🎒🧠

As the first day of school approaches, one of the best ways to support your child is to walk through the morning routine before it actually matters. Practice these following steps now:

✅ Getting dressed
✅ Packing the backpack
✅ Eating breakfast
✅ Leaving the house on time

A "practice morning" helps reduce anxiety, strengthens executive functioning skills, and builds confidence before the real first day.

Small routines today can make a big difference for the first week of school. 💜
