The Back to School Reset
Online course for parents and carers

A Neuro-Affirming 10 Step Back to School Reset for Parents Includes a course workbook

The first morning back at school can feel like a shock to the entire family, even the dog!

Suddenly, everyone needs to wake up earlier, get dressed, eat and somehow find matching shoes. Then there are teeth to brush, bags to pack, lunches to remember and everyone needs to be out of the door before 8 am, preferably without setting the kitchen alight, having a meltdown or threatening divorce!

For neurodivergent children and their parents, that shift can place huge demands on sensory processing, emotional regulation, working memory, time awareness and task initiation.

For parents and carers, it can mean using every bit of energy before the working day has even begun.

To help families prepare, Neurominds has created a practical one-hour parent video with a 10 Step Back to School Reset, plus a course workbook to help put the ideas into practice.

Parents will learn to:

  • Understand the impact of the brain and nervous system responding to the demands of returning to school
  • Offer limited choices and autonomy within boundaries
  • Recognise sensory and emotional overload
  • Recognise sensory and emotional overload
  • Support working memory and task initiation
  • Prepare for after-school regulation and recovery.
  • Reintroduce school-specific routines
  • Create a launchpad for bags, shoes, keys and essential items
  • Gently shift sleep and waking times
  • Reduce unnecessary morning decisions
  • Prepare key tasks the night before
  • Use pictures, checklists and visual timers
