August's Workshop: Back to School Without the Blowups: Nervous System Tools for Smoother Transitions
The Family-Wellbeing Hour™ SERIES for Creating Ease & Stability in Your Neurodiverse Family
August 19 at 10 am CT - 11 am CT
This month, we return to the second step in Sheryl’s powerful ABC™ Framework: B is for Body—and how to use your body as a compass, detector, and co-regulation tool during times of transition.
Back-to-school season is full of big feelings for kids and their parents. Whether your child is starting school, returning to a familiar environment, or adjusting to a new routine at home, emotional turbulence is often part of the process.
This webinar helps parents ease the emotional overwhelm that often comes with transitions like the back-to-school season by:
- understanding their child’s nervous system signals, and
- learning how to respond with calm presence,
- with the energy, attitude, and mindset they want their children to have,
- and without reactivity.
Family-Wellbeing Coach™ Sheryl Stoller will guide you in learning what your child’s nervous system is trying to tell you and how you are the most powerful tool you have to create the stability and connection needed for flourishing growth.
You’ll learn how to:
- Understand what transitions really mean for a child’s developing nervous system
- Step into 4 powerful parenting roles that support smoother transitions:Detective, Whole-Brain Enabler, Systems Designer, and Safe Harbor
- Recognize your child’s learning and sensory preferences and how those affect transition challenges
- Use your body to regulate your own stress and co-regulate with your child
- Design a personalized plan to meet both of your needs—before, during, and after transitions
We’ll also explore how “appreciation” and “vision” can transform even the most chaotic mornings into moments of calm and connection.
This session is perfect for parents who want to begin the school year with clarity, confidence, and care—by anchoring in presence, not pressure.
Come learn, ground, and grow with us.

Creating Ease & Stability in Your Neurodiverse Family
Parenting a neurodiverse child can feel like navigating shifting terrain, with all of the complex needs and intense interactions within and between you and your children and other adults. This requires a regular time and place to anchor, clear our system, and refuel. I invite you to join me for:
A Monthly Safe Harbor: A consistent safe space you can ask for what you need and get it.
Personalized Path to Ease and Stability: Learn how to adapt the tools I share to fit your unique daily moments, helping you create ease and stability no matter what the day brings.
Each month, we’ll explore one of the core pillars of the transformative approach I have created, following an easy-to-remember ABC framework:
A = Awareness: Being in the habit of self-awareness enables you to successfully pause, get out of reactivity, and into loving presence.
B = Body/Embodiment: Learning to regulate stress and emotions through embodied practices grounds you and your child. This equips you to send both the nonverbal and verbal messages you want your child to receive, and to hear the messages your body and your child’s body is sending you.
C = Compassionate Connection: Strengthening your self-compassion allows you to no longer look to the interactions with your child to take care of you. It creates a loving state that brings curiosity, and then clarity about what is going on, what matters, and what’s needed from you in the moment.
By focusing on one pillar each month, you’ll gain practical strategies you can use right away to create lasting change in your family dynamic.
