Friday Review - Why is After School So Dang Hard?

Tell me if you have experienced this before: your kid comes from home from school and all YOU want to do is ask them about their day?  How was school?  Who did you play with?  What did you learn in math?  Yet when your kid opens their mouth, it isn't to answer your questions.  It is to complain about something.  It is to throw a tantrum about wanting a snack.  It is complaining that you don't have a playdate scheduled for them. 

Why is it that after school is just SO DANG HARD?  What is it about this time that seems to make it more difficult than normal for our kids, and what can we do as parents to help them?

This Friday Review show I talk briefly on the topic of the After-School Restraint Collapse which is discussed in various parenting blogs and articles.  The one I reference in this show if found here.
