A first medication visit is about understanding your child, not rushing into treatment.
We look at history, symptoms, patterns, and goals. Medication is only considered when it makes sense for your child’s needs.

Three Arrows also offers Genomind testing when helpful. It’s a simple cheek swab that provides insight into how a child may respond to common psychiatric medications.

If you’re parenting an autistic child, you’ve probably seen this moment before.
The quiet. The withdrawal. The shutdown.

Shutdowns aren’t ignoring you. They aren’t disrespect. They’re a nervous system saying, “This is too much right now.”

For many families here in Gilbert and across the East Valley, shutdowns show up after long school days, busy outings, or unexpected changes. What helps most isn’t pushing for answers. It’s offering quiet, space, and a sense of safety.

When we start viewing shutdowns as stress signals instead of behavior problems, everything shifts. Our response becomes supportive instead of urgent, and kids feel safer coming back when they’re ready.

You’re not doing anything wrong by slowing things down. Sometimes that is the support.

Kids rarely say “I’m anxious.” Instead, it shows up as stomachaches before school, irritability, or avoiding the things they once enjoyed.

The difference between nervousness and anxiety is how often it happens and how much it disrupts daily life. If you’re seeing these patterns most days, it’s worth paying attention.

Kids don’t always have the words to explain what’s going on inside. Long before they can say “I’m overwhelmed” or “I don’t know how to handle this,” they show us through behavior.

Meltdowns, shutdowns, and refusals are often signals of confusion, stress, or a skill that’s still developing. Not defiance. Not manipulation. Just communication.

Many families here in Gilbert and across the East Valley notice these patterns during transitions, school stress, or busy days. When we slow down and look beneath the behavior, we can respond with support instead of frustration.

Understanding the “why” behind the behavior changes everything.

When something isn’t working at school, one clear email can make the process easier. Start with what you’re seeing at home, how often it happens, and how it affects learning.

Written communication creates a timeline, keeps everyone aligned, and makes meetings more productive. Bring your concerns, examples, and what helps your child stay calm and focused.

If your child may need clinical documentation for school support, our team in Gilbert can help.

Parents often spot patterns long before anyone else sees them. That doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re paying attention.

Your effort, your instinct, and your presence matter more than a perfect response.

You’re doing more than you think.

If focus, impulsivity, or task initiation have been ongoing struggles, ADHD testing can help bring clarity.
At Three Arrows, we use QbCheck, an objective tool that helps us understand attention and activity patterns, along with history and symptoms.

Parents often feel more confident once they have answers.

Kids build confidence when effort, not perfection, gets noticed.
When you praise the try, the retry, and the steady work in between, you teach them that progress matters more than the score.

Struggle isn’t a setback.
It’s the part that grows resilience.

Parents usually notice the early signs first.
Changes in sleep, more meltdowns, avoidance, or new body complaints can shift the whole rhythm at home.

These patterns affect school, friendships, confidence, and the routines you depend on.
Small steps help: track patterns for a week, keep bedtime steady, add a daily reset window, and connect with one teacher.

If the struggles show up most days for two weeks, disrupt school or home, or your gut says “this isn’t passing,” support can help.

If you feel like you’ve tried everything, you’re not failing. You’re running into guesswork.
Kids don’t struggle for one simple reason, and surface-level fixes rarely solve what’s underneath.

When we look deeper at patterns, sleep, behavior, stress, routines, and school demands, we start to see what’s actually driving the hard moments.
A clearer picture helps you stop chasing random solutions and start building a plan that fits your child.

If homework time feels like a battle, the problem usually starts before the pencil hits the paper. Kids need a quick reset after school so their nervous system can settle.

Three minutes of stretching.
A short walk.
A silly jump game.

Movement brings the body back online, and focus follows.
If you want support building after-school routines that actually stick, we can help.
