Starting a new school year can feel like waking up from a dream.

Just when you thought you had summer figured out, everything shifts.

But a new school year isnt just an adjustment for our kids, with their new teachers, schedules, and homework routines; we parents feel it, too.

Were constantly trying to balance our childrens needs with school expectations. And, of course, neverending homework dramas… 🤦

Plus, if youre neurodivergent and you have a neurodivergent child, navigating through the school year feels like navigating a doubly twisted maze. (Believe me, Ive been down that road myself.)

Thats why we at Calm the Chaos reached out to those who know best – we created the Back-to-School Expert Secrets with a mission: to help parents at the onset of this school year.

We ask them this:

“Given just a few minutes with a parent, feeling the weight of a new school year, what essential advice would you offer?”

Among our panel of experts, we have Emily Kircher-Morris (@emilykm_lpc), an LPC and the host of The Neurodiversity Podcast (@theneurodiversitypodcast). She has authored several enlightening books about neurodivergent and gifted kids.

With her expertise from a private practice in St. Louis, Missouri, she supports neurodivergent kids and their families daily.

Together with a team of 10 experts, Emily shares a common goal:

To guide you towards a smoother, perhaps even delightful, school year for both you and your child.

Sounds like a breath of fresh air, right?

Then, step into a different kind of school year – one where its not just about coping but thriving.

Your journey to a stress-reduced school year is just a click away.

Guess what? I have some super exciting news! TODAY I’m speaking at the fourth annual Raised Good Online Summit: Conversations on Natural Parenting. When Tracy explained her vision, I jumped at the chance to be a part of it.

So, what is the vision? To challenge the paradigm of modern parenting to one of joyful curiosity, humility, adventure, play, simplicity, and wonder.

To deepen your confidence in your own ability to parent and lead through relationship, not strategy.

Consider this your invitation to join the conversation.

And the best part? It’s a FREE event, taking place from September 21st - 25th.

AT THE END OF THIS 5-DAY SUMMIT, YOU’LL GAIN:

💡A newfound confidence in your own abilities as a parent - even as a new parent
💡The awareness to become led by intuition and the confidence to practice it daily
💡The education and research to back up your desire to parent as nature intended
💡Factual insight to help you navigate challenging aspects of motherhood like sleep, breastfeeding, and discipline
💡An appreciation for play, adventure, and simplifying childhood

Connecting with kids, especially unique ones, can feel like a puzzle.

As they grow into teens, it gets even harder.

They might not enjoy the playful moments with mom and dad as they did before

Like, have you ever planned a fun day, like cookie decorating, only to receive a meh response?

Its easy to feel disappointed, isn’t it?

But this pushes us to redefine what connection truly means.

Its not about what we think should resonate with them. It’s about what truly matters to them.

And sometimes, it’s just not on the surface, and we need to find what it is.

Think about the frantic mornings when you are searching everywhere for your lost car keys.

Just like we dont stop looking until we find them (often in the most unexpected places), we shouldnt stop looking for how our kids like to connect.

They have these unexpected pockets of passion, times, and ways they open up, and its our role as a parent to dive deep, listen carefully, and discover them.

Because when we do, theyll let us into their world.

And thats a moment worth waiting for.

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.

Imagine this: your unique child sits in front of a worksheet filled with 40 math problems, all two-digit multiplication.

Their eyes are wandering, they easily lose focus, and getting the numbers lined up just right is a real challenge for them.

And you can see the stress this mountain of a task causes.

But before you urge them to push through, to finish all 40 questions, pause and think:

Whats the true goal here?

Is it just about finishing the worksheet?

Or is it about understanding the method and showing they grasp two-digit multiplication?

If they can confidently tackle 10 of those problems, havent they already shown that they get it?

Remember, its alright to approach things differently.

Completing a part but understanding wholly is just as, if not more, valuable.

Does this resonate with you?

I know transitioning to a new school year is tough, especially when you feel a bit lost on how best to support your child.

Thats why I want to help.

So, I spoke to 10 parenting experts, each bringing their unique perspectives and tips.

One standout expert is Penny Williams (@pennywilliams).

She’s not just a parenting coach but a beacon of hope for families navigating neurodiversity.

Author of award-winning books, including Boy Without Instructions, and the host of the Beautifully Complex Podcast, Penny understands the intricate challenges and joys of raising kids with ADHD or autism.

Along with other experts, she offers invaluable insights to transform your approach, understanding, and support for your child.

So, if you want to simplify your back-to-school transition and replace guesswork with guided strategies, dive into our Back-to-School Expert Secrets.

Save time on searching and invest more in forging supportive, quality routines for your child.

Secure your lifetime access now and ensure a smoother school year for both you and your child.

📕Back to school doesn’t have to be so hard.

In an effort to make this back-to-school period as smooth as possible for both you and your super kids, I sat down with 10 parenting experts and asked them all the same question:

“If you only had 3-5 minutes with a struggling parent of challenging kids entering a new school year, what is the one need-to-know piece of advice you’d share with them?”

And they have shared their expert strategies for those real, raw, back-to-school moments - for FREE.

Curious to know what they had to say?

Register for the Back-to-School Expert Secrets!

Together, we can turn these challenges into opportunities.
