Anyone else exhausted by week two?

If week two of school already feels heavy, you’re not alone.

Transitions take energy, and nervous systems don’t adjust overnight.

This is your reminder that support, rest and compassion matter too, especially for the mums holding it all together.

Routines aren’t about perfection, they’re about helping nervous systems feel safe.
For kids, predictable rhythms support emotional regulation and energy levels.

For mums, routines can reduce mental load during busy weeks.

Start small:
• Similar wake-up times
• Regular meals
• Daily movement
• Connection before correction

Gentle consistency supports both kids and parents through the school term.

A well-fitted backpack can make a difference to how children carry their school load each day 🎒

Helpful reminders:
• Wear both shoulder straps
• Use chest and waist straps if available
• Adjust straps so the bag sits snugly
• Position the bag between shoulders and hips

Supporting comfort and balance helps kids move through their school day with more ease.

If you’d like guidance on backpack fit or support through the back-to-school transition, Dr Lisa and Dr Monica are always happy to help.

The first weeks back at school can be a big adjustment, not just physically, but emotionally too.

New routines, early mornings, social demands and longer days can place extra load on growing nervous systems.

What we often see as “after school meltdowns” is simply a nervous system that’s worked hard all day.

Gentle support, consistency and connection can go a long way during this transition.

In the morning rush, small things like packing a school bag can easily be overlooked, but they can play a role in supporting growing bodies during the school year 🎒

A few simple tips that may help:
• Pack heavier items closest to the back
• Zip up all compartments
• Avoid overpacking where possible
• Encourage wearing both shoulder straps
Weight of backpack no more than 10% of body weight
Choose a smaller size for younger primary school kiddos.

Small, practical adjustments can help children feel more comfortable as they adapt to longer school days and new routines.

Gentle back-to-school nervous system prep.

Instead of focusing on what you should achieve this year, try asking:

What would I feel proud of by the end of 2026?

How do you want your days to feel?

What kind of energy do you want to have for your family?

Often, the answers point toward feeling calmer, less rushed, and more present — not doing more.

From that perspective, the next step doesn’t need to be big, just aligned.
