Back-to-School Shifts That Help Kids Thrive
from The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast · host Sheree Wertz
September feels like a second New Year new routines, new beginnings, and often, new stress. In this episode, we go beyond backpacks and lunchboxes to explore what kids really need as they head back to school: structure, sleep, breathing, and even chewing. Yes, chewing! Discover why this overlooked habit is a powerful developmental tool that impacts focus, behavior, sleep, and emotional regulation. You’ll hear a powerful story of a 6-year-old whose focus, speech, and sleep improved dramatically just from introducing more chewing and tongue exercises into her routine. We’ll also cover four practical shifts families can make right now to ease the transition into the school year and set kids up for long-term success.
