Your child isn’t overreacting to one correction. Their nervous system may be reacting to an entire day of noise, demands, transitions, masking and holding it together. That’s why the same sentence feels manageable in the morning but causes an explosion after school. Correct after regulation, not during the storm. Your child reads your nervous system before they can process your words.
