You haven't seen your child all day, you are excited to reconnect with them and find out all about their day - but you are met with one word answers at best or even a full on meltdown.

Why do other people's kids seem to be chatty and full of zest at school pickup and your kid is taking a huff and refusing to get in the car!

Or maybe your children fight relentlessly all the way home and you're at your wits end!

If any of these ring true, or if you just need some fresh ideas to reconnect after being away from your child, then this is the episode for you.

I talk about why your child might resist connection after school and how you can find your way in.

This episode is full of ideas to reconnect that work with your child's neurobiology and speaks their language of play.
