@walkers.therapy: ✨Week 4 = the meltdown week If your child suddenly seems more emotional, defiant or drained right now… you’re not imagining it. The school routine novelty has worn off, but their stamina hasn’t caught up yet. 💡 👉 Explosive meltdowns 👉 Backchat + refusal 👉 Bedtime battles It’s not bad parenting. It’s nervous system overload. This week: lower demands, prioritise rest, and pour on connection. ❤️ You’ve got this. Connection always beats correction. Follow @walkers.therapy for more behaviour decoding + calm parenting tools. #p#parentingp#parentingtipsp#parentsf#fypwalkerstherapy
My girls had a day off today because it’s been too much for her. She needed a wellbeing day, bath doing whatever she wants just chilling 💕 because she needed it she is exhausted 💕

I wish you could tell the school this. They’ve suspended my son due to this again. Finally got an early review date at the school to hopefully move him!

Thank you 😭 my son is in reception and this week has been challenging! But thank you for reminding me. It’s the walk home that’s the hardest part but I need to remind myself that his social mask has come off and all his big feels have been bottled up 🥹💙

it's great lowering their demands but teachers need to chill with home work and pressuring reading schoolbooks at home. we've lost so much of our kid to school. it's far too many hours for people so small.
