Making School Goodbyes Easier

19 Aug 2026 · 9:55

Starting school stirs up big feelings — for little kids and for the parents saying goodbye. Dr. Cathryn shares the moment that changed drop-offs for good with her own youngest, plus the big-hearted scripts, routines, and small shifts that make those first mornings smoother.

In this episode:

• The night-before habit that ends outfit battles for good • What to prep a few days ahead so drop-off doesn't catch your child off guard • Exactly what to say (and what not to say) when your child cries at goodbye • Why after-school meltdowns happen and the simple fix that helps
