Details
Stop dreading pickup time—understand the meltdowns, restore the peace, and deepen your connection.
Does this sound familiar?
The teacher says your child had a great day. But the moment you're in the car—or within minutes of getting home—your sweet kid transforms. There's whining, tears, defiance, or a full meltdown over something seemingly trivial.
You're left wondering: What am I doing wrong? Why do they save their worst behaviour for me?
Here's the truth: You're not doing anything wrong. You're doing something profoundly right.
What's Inside:
✓ The brain science behind after-school restraint collapse—in plain English
✓ A 5-step response plan to meet meltdowns with connection instead of correction
✓ Quick reference survival kit for before pickup, after school, during meltdowns, and after the storm
✓ Why your child melts down with you—and why it's actually a sign of secure attachment
✓ Co-regulation strategies that help your child's nervous system borrow calm from yours
✓ Validation techniques that honour big feelings without fixing or dismissing them
You'll Learn How To:
- Recognize after-school meltdowns as communication, not defiance
- Prepare yourself and your home for the after-school transition
- Stay regulated when your child is dysregulated
- Use connection to help your child's nervous system settle
- Hold boundaries with compassion during difficult moments
- Build your child's capacity for self-regulation over time
Perfect For Parents Who:
- Feel personally attacked by after-school behaviour
- Worry that these meltdowns mean something is wrong
- Want to respond with compassion but don't know how
- Are exhausted by the daily battle of the pickup-to-bedtime hours
- Feel triggered or overwhelmed by their child's big emotions
- Want to build a secure attachment while maintaining boundaries
The Result?
Peaceful after-school transitions, a deeper understanding of your child's nervous system, and the confidence to meet challenging moments with calm and connection.
