Did you know?💡 A small thing that makes a big difference at pickup...
When your child gets in the car or walks home, resist the urge to ask 'how was your day?' straight away.
Most children need 15-20 minutes to decompress before they're ready to talk. Ask later — at dinner, during bath time, or just before bed. You'll get much fuller answers.
This is something we see every day at WAC — children arrive at the end of school still in 'school mode' and need time to switch off before they're really themselves again.
It's not personal that they grunt at you in the car. It's neurology. 🧠
