Ever wonder why your child can hold it together all day at school, then completely unravel the moment they get home? You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’ll unpack the real reason behind those after-school meltdowns (hint: it’s not bad behavior!) and what you can do to bring calm and connection back to your afternoons and evenings.

You’ll discover why your child saves their hardest moments for you, how emotional safety can lead to release, and simple steps that help your home feel more peaceful and predictable.

Because when you understand why it’s happening, you can respond with grace, compassion, and calm… and that can change everything.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn what After-School Restraint Collapse really is and why it happens.
  • Discover why your child’s meltdowns are actually a sign of emotional safety, not defiance.
  • Understand how sensory and social overload play a big role in afternoon chaos.
  • Get four simple, powerful steps—Snack, Silence, Soft Connection, and Structure—to create smoother, calmer afternoons.
