August 03, 2026 What Breaks in a Real School Crisis
The worst time to write a crisis plan is during a crisis.
Every Georgia district has some version of one. The real question is whether it holds up at 2:15 on a Tuesday, when a counselor is out, the student in front of you has just disclosed something serious, and three people are waiting on a decis

August 03, 2026 The 6th Grade Confidence Drop
Sixth grade is one of the biggest jumps a child ever makes.
One teacher becomes seven. One classroom becomes a schedule, a locker, and a hallway full of strangers. Friend groups reshuffle from scratch. And all of it lands exactly when early adolescence is rewiring how they read themselves and every

August 03, 2026 Why October Is When Schools Feel It
The first 30 days set the tone for the whole school year.
For a lot of students, going back isn't excitement — it's a stomachache on the bus, tears at drop-off, or a teenager who suddenly can't sleep. Some of that is normal adjustment. Some of it is the early signal of something that gets much loud

July 26, 2026 Teacher Burnout: Why Wellness Days Fail
Before the students arrive, a word about the adults.
Your teachers are walking into this year already carrying last year. Many of them spent it de-escalating crises they were never trained for, absorbing stories they couldn't unhear, and going home with nowhere to put it.
Then we ask them to be th

July 26, 2026 Why School Crisis Plans Fail in Practice
Question for Georgia school leaders: if a student in crisis walked into your building tomorrow morning, how many hours would it take to get them in front of a licensed clinician?
For a lot of districts the honest answer is days — or a referral list and a hope.
That gap is what HB-268 readiness is

July 26, 2026 School Refusal: When Avoidance Takes Over
Georgia classrooms open in a matter of days — and for a lot of students, the anxiety started weeks ago.
Back-to-school anxiety rarely announces itself. It shows up as:
• Stomachaches and headaches that appear on school mornings and vanish by 10am
• Sleep that falls apart in the last two weeks of s

July 15, 2026 If your teen has seemed newly irritable,...
If your teen has seemed newly irritable, anxious, or down, it's easy to chalk it up to moodiness — or to leap straight to fears about addiction. But there's a possibility that often gets missed: sometimes a substance itself is driving the mood. Alcohol, cannabis, vaping and nicotine, even some presc

If your child suddenly won't eat certain foods, keeps asking "what if I get sick?", or begs to stay home from school, it's easy to chalk it up to pickiness or a nervous phase. But sometimes there's something more specific underneath: an intense fear of vomiting, known as emetophobia.

"Kids are resilient — they'll bounce back from a move." It's true that children adapt, but a big transition can hit harder than we expect. When a family relocates or a child starts at a new school, the loss of familiar faces, routines, and a sense of belonging is real. For some kids, that shows up w

To the family quietly worried tonight — this one's for you. 💛
When a child has Tourette's, often with co-occurring OCD, it can feel isolating. But those tics and rituals aren't misbehavior. They're neurological, and your child is not choosing them.
Signs you might see:
• Repeated movements or voc
