Meet Dayna

Stuck in a relentless cycle where everything feels like a struggle?

Each day feels like an uphill battle - from school challenges, to the constant effort of getting your kids to listen at home, plus managing never ending chores.

(And self-care? Almost non-existent.)

If you feel that your life, especially your superkids challenging behavior, is sinking to an all-time low - this episode is your lifeline.

🫶 You’re not alone.

Millions of parents have been there (myself included).

But today, I have a special guest on my podcast who climbed out of that abyss and discovered hope.

👉 Meet Rachel Le, an inspiring voice from Ottawa, Canada, a mother to three superkids aged 11, 8, and 6.

Rachel isnt just any parent - shes autistic and raising three neurodivergent children, one of them being nonverbal.

In our heart-to-heart conversation, Rachel opens up about her and her kids’ diagnoses, their overwhelming journey, and the ray of hope she found using the Calm the Chaos roadmap.

Dont miss this episode - it’s a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. ❤️

Getting your kid to go to school, do schoolwork and homework, or handle the transitions to and from school can leave you dizzy.

Here are 3 tips to handle back to school chaos:

🕵🏻‍♀️school refusal and struggles always have more going on behind the surface. Look for underlying causes

🔐 Safety is number one. Most children refuse school not because they “won’t go” but because they “can’t” they don’t feel emotionally, physically, or psychologically safe so their nervous system responds by pushing back on school

💕 Focus on connection and relationship. Does your child have a person they trust at school? Do they trust you to guide them and support them?

While it seems counterintuitive- attendance isn’t the goal, meeting your child’s needs and understanding the real struggle so you can make a plan together is the goal.

Obviously this is just the tip of the iceberg. And you are doing an amazing job just as you are! Don’t forget that.

I’ve got a FREE School Refusal Masterclass this Wednesday, if you want more advice on how to help your child thrive at home and school.

Just comment BTS and I’ll send over the link!

You got this!

Back to school, right?

Morning alarms, bedtime resistance, those screen-time debates, and that ever-lingering homework.

In the midst of this, I want you to hold onto a core principle from Calm the Chaos:

Your top job is to make sure your kiddos feel safe, seen, and connected.

We all face challenges.

Maybe its your child dodging school, lagging on assignments, or maybe its that one teacher who, for whatever reason, just isnt clicking with them.

Heres your mantra: breathe deeply, keep calm, repeat.

Its not just about their well-being but yours too.

Trust me, youve got what it takes to navigate this.

Every morning, every bedtime, every homework debate - youre the anchor they need in this storm, and youre doing great.

Debbie Reber (@tiltparenting) shared a similar piece of advice when we asked her what tip shed give to a struggling parent facing a new school year.

She is the founder of Tilt Parenting, a podcast and community for parents raising and embracing neurodivergent children, and the author of Differently Wired.

Debbie is also among the 10 experts in our Back to School Expert Secrets designed to help parents navigate the sometimes tricky back-to-school transition.

Want a school year that feels a bit lighter, more in control, and, dare I say, fun?

Every foster care or adopted child comes with a story.

But heres the thing: its their story.

The burning curiosity to know what happened in their past can sometimes overshadow the real aim – to provide love, understanding, and a safe space.

Imagine youre in their shoes.

The trauma or experiences theyve endured arent topics for casual conversations.

So, before you ask, remember – theyll share when theyre ready.

Its essential to let them know that youre there, ready to listen whenever they choose to open up.

Because true connection is not about knowing their past first.

Its about being there for them now, in the present.

Don’t miss this week’s episode with Jenifer Beaney.

As a parent of an adopted teenager, she talks about the challenges of raising foster and adopted kids, building trust and connection, and helping children find their voice.

How many times have you saved a ‘Get Your Kids to Do Their Homework’ cheat sheet?

Of the ones you actually got around to trying… how many of them worked?😅

The reason those Pinterest plans don’t work
is because a stranger created a beautiful,
but wildly general, one-size-fits-all plan for the masses.

...And in a perfect world, it would be that easy!

But without specificity -
without considering each unique child, family dynamics,
and by denying your child the opportunity to contribute to the plan…
it’s nothing more than a pretty pin.

If you truly want to change the way your kids navigate homework (or any) responsibilities… you have to start by actually considering the kid.

➡️involve your children in the plan.
➡️check to see that basic needs are met.
➡️keep communication open and stay flexible.

If this is resonating with you,
join me this Wednesday Sept 27th for the
✨FREE School Refusal Masterclass✨
with Penny Williams!
