About this episode
After school is when many children unravel and parents are left wondering why homework feels impossible. In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening neurologically and emotionally after a long school day, and why dysregulation is not defiance. You’ll learn practical, realistic strategies to help your child decompress, transition, and approach homework with less resistance. The takeaway: smoother evenings start with regulation, not pressure.
