Dreading school starting

Hi, I have a 6 year old daughter who was diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year. I think she also has some sensory issues. She is a sweet little girl who is very busy but the hardest part is during school or summer camp when she was being reprimanded for something or feels she is going to get into trouble she has a complete meltdown. Which sometimes included throwing chairs and screaming. We are currently working with a therapist and she is taking a low dose of Guanfacine. I am so worried about how she will handle being back in school. Has anyone dealt with this behavior? Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hey Mom, Be truthful with your little one. There will be tough days. Let her know you too have tough days. (You do, right?) Teaching empathy and gratefulness, mindfulness helped my son immensely.
