After school restraint collapse can look like your kid suddenly becoming a completely different person the second they get in the car. 😵‍💫 But sometimes the meltdowns, big emotions, irritability, and “worst behavior” are the result of holding it together all day at school. These are a few things that help us make the after-school transition a little easier: keeping snacks in the car, having a quiet car ride, lowering demands, and remembering that behavior is communication. If your kindergartener is melting down after school, you’re not alone. This is especially common for kids who are navigating big transitions, ADHD, sensory overwhelm, or the demands of a full school day. Save this for your next after-school meltdown. #restraintcollapse #afterschoolmeltdown #kindergarten #kindergartenmom #adhdparenting
