As a busy Mother, business owner, and Registered Nurse of 17 years as of yesterday...I too never want summer to end. I love having my kids home and the long summer evenings we spend together. But I also know that these schedule free days are quickly going to end and it will be back to the busy schedules of kids to and from school, activities, illnesses, and just the overall need to be organized and most of all...CALM...easier said than done most days. Full Disclaimer, as a Registered Nurse coach, I do not diagnose medical conditions or prescribe treatments outside collaborative agreements. Instead, I empower individuals through evidence-based education, self-awareness tools, and referrals to appropriate providers when needed. Holistically nurse coaching complements the standard nursing role by focusing on the whole person (Mind, Body, Emotion, Spirit, Environment) by using client centered motivational, reflective, mindful integrative self-care strategies to foster resilience and sustainable wellness during life transitions. This is not medical advice but meant for educational purposes. Now that all the legal stuff is out there let's get to the point. Transition Burnout is a very real thing for not only parents but most often our kids too. But what is it? Transition Burnout is the exhaustion from shifting rhythms, increased demands, and unresolved summer stressors. SOOO, I've created a checklist that you can utilize for a smooth transition from summer to the structured school year. It helps you identify transition burnout and guides you in reflective action. I always recommend that you review this with your school age children as well. You'd be surprised out intuitive and self-aware they are. I'm always here to help you build a reset plan and schedule if you are in need. The life you are building is their childhood...Let's make sure we are building a strong foundation for the future.
