Helping Kids Decompress After School 🎒
Children can hold it together all day at school and then completely unravel when they get home. That after-school meltdown isn’t necessarily a sign of a bad day—it may simply mean they’re tired, hungry, overstimulated, and finally somewhere they feel comfortable.
A calm transition can make a big difference. ❤️
✨ Nanny Tip: Try offering a snack and 20–30 minutes of low-pressure downtime before jumping into homework, chores, or questions about their day.
Sometimes connection comes before conversation.
