Returning to school may look like one small step: but a nervous system can experience it as many changes at once: new sounds, schedules, expectations, faces and transitions. For students experiencing anxiety, ADHD, autism or learning differences, going slowly is not falling behind. It may be the care that makes learning possible. 🧡

The medicine wheel invites us to ask what this transition needs in every direction. North: Wisdom and Truth: name what is changing. East: Love and Humility: begin with connection, not pressure. South: Honesty and Respect: make room for feelings and sensory needs. West: Courage, with Honesty carried throughout: take one manageable step, then pause.

For Indigenous students, returning to school may also carry the ongoing impacts of residential and day school experiences. Culturally safe care begins with listening, consistency and relationship.

A predictable plan, a trusted person or a gentle check-in can help a student return to centre. This is Relational Security™ in practice. Returning to Centre™ is not about rushing back; it is finding a way forward together, rooted in Miyo-wîcêhtowin: Living in Harmony. 🧡
