🍎📚 School Success Strategies: Checking In After the First Few Weeks! 💬
The first few weeks of school can be a BIG adjustment! New routines, environments, people, and expectations can be exciting—but they can also feel overwhelming. 🩷
Communication can happen in many different forms, so instead of only asking “How was school?”, let’s pay attention to the many ways our children communicate with us. 👀💕
Here are 5 things to check in on: 👇
✨ How are they showing you they feel?
Look for changes in behavior, body language, mood, or communication.
✨ How are they adjusting to routines?
Are mornings, transitions, or getting ready becoming easier?
✨ When do they seem overwhelmed?
Look for patterns around noise, crowds, transitions, or challenging activities.
✨ What’s going well? 🌟
Celebrate every win—big or small!
Remember, communication isn’t just spoken words. AAC, gestures, behaviors, facial expressions, and body language can all be meaningful forms of communication. 🩷
