📅 Tuesday, September 22 | 6:00–7:30 PM

Come learn, ask questions, and explore what it means to be a supportive grown-up.

Back-to-school routines don’t have to happen overnight. If summer bedtime has crept later and mornings have become a little slower, start making small adjustments before school begins.

Try moving bedtime earlier by 10–15 minutes. Start getting up a little earlier. Reintroduce a morning routine. Small changes can help the whole family ease into a new rhythm.

A new season can be a good reminder that it’s okay to pause, adjust, and try again. Maybe bedtime needs a little tweaking. Maybe mornings have become chaotic. Maybe everyone needs more connection after a busy day.

You don’t have to change everything at once. Small adjustments can make a big difference. Give yourself and your family permission to reset this fall.

Take a few minutes to reconnect before bedtime. A story, a hug, or a simple check-in. Ending the day together reinforces safety and belonging.
