What other parents are saying

You're not alone.
Not even slightly.

After-school meltdowns are one of the most misunderstood family dynamics — and one of the most common. What looks like behaviour is usually decompression.

"Fine at school. Teachers say so. I wonder if they mean the same child."

"We all walk on eggshells from 3:30pm. The whole family."
— Dad of one, Bristol
"I'm the safe person to explode at. I know that. It doesn't make it easier."
— Mum of three, Newcastle
