In this summer revisit, Jenny and Kristine welcome Lisa Konstandt back to continue their conversation about flexibility, resilience, and navigating change.
Lisa shares that flexibility is not simply about changing plans—it is about loosening expectations, accepting our emotions, and learning to adjust when life unfolds differently than we imagined.
The conversation explores why the transition from a busy school year into summer can feel surprisingly difficult. Our brains become accustomed to structure and routine, so slowing down may take time. For children, especially neurodivergent children, creating a predictable summer rhythm can help ease the transition.
Lisa also encourages listeners to let go of the pressure to “do it all” over the summer and instead ask, “What do I need right now?” She reminds us that rest, flexibility, and self-care are practices we can carry with us throughout the entire year.
Flexibility never ends. Life will always ask us to adjust, so learning to “make friends with flexibility” helps us move forward instead of getting stuck.

Out of respect for our students, we want to note that while the stories we share are real, names have been changed for anonymity. In fact, every student we mention is named “Charlie.” We use that name as a way to honor privacy while still sharing authentic classroom experiences.
