190. The After-School Meltdown Rollercoaster: Buckle Up, Parents!

In this episode of Real World Peaceful Parenting, we’re exploring
the common but challenging experience of after-school meltdowns.
My goal is to offer a fresh perspective on these emotional
outbursts, and encourage parents to see them as a compliment to
their safe and supportive parenting. I’ll share practical tips to
help you navigate these tough moments with calm and compassion,
turning the chaos into an opportunity for connection and growth.

and providing a safe space for them to unpack, parents can
strengthen their bond with their kids and foster emotional
resilience.
