406- Post-Vacation Meltdowns and School Refusal with The OT Butterfly, Laura Petix (Rebroadcast)
You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today’s episode is a rebroad of one of our absolute essentials-- how to navigate that rocky transition back to school after vacation. And not just for our kids, but for ourselves, too.I’m joined by my friend Laura Petix, also known as The OT Butterfly. She’s a pediatric occupational therapist, a neurodivergent mom raising a neurodivergent kid, and the author of A Kid’s Book About Neurodiversity. She also has a brand-new book coming out October 6th called The Sensory Code: Understanding Sensory Processing Differences to Support Your Child’s Unique Needs, which could not be more perfect for this conversation.This convo is a mix of validation, strategy, and "yep, me too" moments you’re going to want to come back to. We talk about how to actually support regulation in those first weeks back, whether your kid is a sensory seeker or sensory sensitive, and how to lower demands, build in support, and reset your own expectations. We also get into the emotional side of school refusal, those brutal morning meltdowns, and why some kids just need a longer runway to get going again.Plus, Laura shares her brilliant nervous system budget analogy, which I think you're going to love. This one’s for those of us starting the school year already feeling tapped out, and trying to figure out how to make re-entry just a little softer.Alright folks, let’s dive in.
