Why do so many families find this stretch of the school year so hard? The adrenaline of the new year has faded, but the pace hasn’t slowed down. In this episode, Terry Dubow talks with Siri Panday, Marin Montessori’s Director of Education for Toddler and Primary, about how families can navigate this stressful season with more grace, calm, and connection. Key Takeaways: Why transitions often intensify family stress even after the “back-to-school” period. How consistent routines offer emotional stability for both children and parents. Why letting children experience age-appropriate struggle builds resilience. Practical tips to ease mornings, strengthen rhythm, and release the pressure of “perfect parenting.” How Montessori principles offer a humane, sustainable path for families during busy seasons.
