285 Why Your Child Falls Apart After School: When “Not Listening” Is Actually Overload

Hey Friends~  Does your child come home from school and suddenly seem like a different kid? They're whining. Fighting with siblings. Ignoring directions. Melting down over something tiny. And you're thinking, “You know how to do this. Why is everything so hard?” What if that behavior isn't just something you need to stop? What if it's giving you information about what your child needs in order to do the next thing? In this episode, we're going beyond “What is my child's behavior communicating?” We're talking about what you do with that information, how you decide what really needs to happen tonight, and how you can actually make tomorrow go better. Because knowing how to do something doesn't always mean your child can access that skill right now. And sometimes, changing what happens next begins with understanding what's happening underneath.
