Your child is a star student – literally a teacher’s dream. But then she comes home from school, and it’s a totally different story; it’s meltdowns and tantrums and refusing to cooperate from carpool until bedtime. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re probably wondering why on earth your child only has meltdowns at home.

In this week’s episode, I answer a listener’s question about the huge difference between her child’s behavior at school versus at home. I unpack this super common dynamic, explain why it happens (and why it’s actually a good thing!), and give you strategies to better support your child when they’re struggling at home.

Here’s the thing: It’s super normal and actually healthy for our kids to hold it together at school and then fall apart at home. And once we understand WHY this happens, we will be so much better able to effectively support our kids in managing tough emotions and challenging behaviors after school.
