The Hidden Reason Your Child Melts Down After School

from Parenting With Psychology · host Dr. Lindsay Emmerson

✨ Feel like an amazing parent in 3 months or less - guaranteed! https://drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop In this episode, I'll reveal the five common reasons kids of all ages transform from charming children to little terrors at school pickup time, and why this challenging behavior happens day after day. If you're doing your best to be loving and supportive but find your patience wearing thin when you collect your child from school, you're not alone. I'll explain what's really going on behind this frustrating pattern and help you understand why even older kids (not just kindergarteners) save their worst behavior for the moment they see you. The fifth reason will amaze you in a truly heartwarming way and completely change how you view these difficult pickup moments. New to my podcast?  I'm Dr. Lindsay Emmerson, a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I help parents find that sweet spot between support and structure that psychology research tells us is best for families now and best for our kids in the future. ------------------------------------------- Let's connect!
