We just got back from a week in Florida. 3 Disney parks. Cheer comp. Two travel days. And the first morning home my kid had a meltdown before breakfast. Not because anything bad happened. Because the transition broke his nervous system. Here is what most people do not understand. ADHD brains do not just “switch back.” When you go from vacation mode to home mode, your kid’s brain is scanning for the old routine and it is not there yet. That gap between what they expect and what they find is where the meltdown lives. Here is what I did this morning that helped. I did not try to force the routine back all at once. I picked ONE anchor point. Wake up time. Same time as a school day. Everything else stayed loose. We ate when we ate. We moved when we moved. But the wake up time was non negotiable. By tomorrow the body clock starts pulling the rest into place on its own. You do not rebuild the whole house in one day. You set one post and build from there. If you just got back from a trip or spring break and your kid is struggling with the re entry, try the one anchor approach. Pick wake time, meal time, or bedtime. Just one. Lock it in. Let the rest follow. What does re entry look like in your house? And what is the first thing that breaks when routine disappears?
