Before the Bell Rings workbook

$24.99

The transition back to school can feel overwhelming—for kids and parents alike. New routines, changing expectations, big emotions, sensory challenges, and anxiety often show up long before the first day of school.

Before the Bell Rings is a guided, family-centered workbook designed to help you prepare with confidence instead of scrambling at the last minute. Created by pediatric occupational therapist and Emerge Pediatric Therapy Owner & CEO Brittni Winslow, this workbook walks families through meaningful conversations, practical planning, and simple strategies that support a smoother start to the school year.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, this workbook helps you understand your unique child, identify what they need to feel successful, and create routines that work for your entire family.

 

Description

Inside you’ll find guided activities to help you:

  • Build predictable morning, bedtime, and after-school routines
  • Understand your child’s sensory and regulation needs
  • Explore school-related worries and reduce transition anxiety
  • Create visual schedules and regulation toolkits
  • Practice age-appropriate independence skills before school begins
  • Develop a consistent drop-off plan that supports confidence
  • Strengthen communication with your child’s teacher
  • Reflect after the first week of school and adjust your plan as needed

The workbook also includes interactive pages designed specifically for children, making it something your family can complete together – not just another parenting resource to read alone.

Whether your child is entering preschool, starting kindergarten, transitioning to a new classroom, or simply needs extra support with school routines, the Before the Bell Rings Workbook provides practical tools rooted in pediatric therapy to help your family feel more prepared, more connected, and more confident.
