3 Years In + What Back-to-School Season Reveals About Our Kids
As we begin August, I’m reflecting on three milestones:
One that happens every year… our “back-to-school” rhythms and routines.
One that marks something deeply personal… our 3-year anniversary of the opening of Future Generations Clinic of Chiropractic here in Escondido (our 12th year total).
And my daughter Alana’s birthday. This will be her big 6th birthday!!

6 years of fatherhood.
6 years of motherhood for my beautiful wife.
6 years of a level of commitment I did not know truly existed until it was here.
That’s something I am so humbled to. The black and white nature of pregnancy, birth and parenthood. The day you become a parent, you can never unbecome a parent.
No rewind, no pause, no slow motion, no fast forward.
Despite what the world might be trying to force us to do.
This year is special. This year marks a milestone our family has been dreaming about for over three and a half years. We finished the construction of Ama and Gong Gong’s ADU. My parents aren’t moving back but they are setting the stage for the next chapter of their lives and our family could not be more blessed.
Everyday you benefit from the devotion my parents have to our family tree. They own the two buildings at 324 S. Kalmia st. The place FG calls home and they are committed to giving me the full freedom to make it the best place for you and your family’s optimal healing.
Back in 2022, we opened our doors in Escondido not just to serve, but to lead creating a space where families could find care grounded in truth, freedom, and resilience. That vision has only deepened, and it’s because of you. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or just joined the movement, thank you. You’re the reason we’re still here.
Your nervous systems. Your child’s inborn ability to self-heal and self-regulate. And our collective ability to CO-regulate… is literally the thing that wakes me up and puts me to bed everyday.
It’s the most powerful mission I know that ensure my kids co-create this world with more optimal kiddos and families.
A Quick Word About Back-to-School
I know this time of year can bring a mix of feelings: a return to structure, but also the stress that often comes with it. If mornings in your home are already filled with tension stress, if homework leads to tears, or if sleep is still out of rhythm – you’re not alone.
What most families don’t realize is that these patterns aren’t just “behavioral.”
They’re often signs that a child’s nervous system is STUCK in survival trying to adapt to a world that’s moving too fast for their physiology to process.
The good news? We can do something about it.
Here are a few small shifts that can create real change in your home:
- Ease back into consistent sleep and wake times – actually seeing the sun rise and set is huge
- Simplify and organize shared spaces
- Set up a calm area for focused study
- Encourage daily movement (fascial maneuvers or even just a walk in the morning)
- And most importantly, support the nervous system with regular adjustments
At Future Generations, chiropractic care isn’t just about posture or pain, it’s about helping the body find safety again. When that happens, everything else – learning, focus, emotional regulation – starts to shift.
If you’re planning your fall calendar, consider including a check-in for your child’s nervous system. It’s one of the most impactful things you can do this season.
