As summer winds down, many highly intuitive children begin to feel the stir of change long before the first school bell rings. For them, “back to school” isn’t just about new supplies or a fresh backpack—it’s an energetic shift they can sense in the air.
Highly intuitive kids often feel everything—excitement, nervousness, and even the collective energy of classmates and teachers they haven’t met yet. This can sometimes show up as restlessness, trouble sleeping, or sudden emotional swings in the weeks leading up to school.
The key is to meet these changes with both compassion and tools that help them feel grounded. Gentle morning routines, regular check-ins about their feelings, and teaching simple calming techniques—like deep breathing or carrying a grounding stone—can make a big difference. For some children, a visual calendar or countdown helps them prepare for the new rhythm ahead.
Most importantly, let your child know they are seen, heard, and supported in their sensitivity. This reassurance helps them step into the school year with more confidence and ease.
