Wow, the different and new terminology these days. Never had this when my kids were little

My daughter has this hugely every single day from child care. It’s really hard and would love some ideas to help too

Absolutely this is real. I notice it more with neurodivergent children (and adults)

I’ve not experienced it, but have heard of it before/

We all need to unwind, so it’s logical our kids need that too

We always have down time for every body when home, before the afternoon and evening routines start. Everyone needs some healthy unwind time.

i didnt heard this word. but this behaviour i noticed in my kids too

Experienced children needing unwind time and letting everything out from a long day at school.

1000% our kids after childcare.

I think it’s quite logical kids try their best to behave well at school and then go home and can let go and be more their tired self.
I always found it important they can relax, lower expectations, have something to eat so they’re not hangry and can run around in a park or at home.

I’ve never heard it termed like this but I think it is pretty common. Angels at school then let loose at home. It’s a good sign lol as it means they do actually understand how to behave but a long day does them in.

I have found my daughter tends to get my tired and moody on her 3 day week of school kindy. It’s a big transition for them and they are trying to be on there best behaviour at school and they get home, feel safe and sometimes explode there emotions on us.

Yes, my twins are in prep and we’re finding towards the end of this term they are experiencing this. I’ve been giving them a healthy snack when they get home – fruit, water, toast. I allow them some quiet time just to decompress for the day and we stick to a pretty standard routine where we can. I try to have dinner, bath and bed time around the same time each night. I also make sure we eat as a family so they can talk about their day o help them process their emotions. Good luck, I’m hoping that it’s exhaustion towards the end of the year and will improve over the school holidays!
