The After School Reset Checklist
Does the meltdown start before the backpack even hits the floor? You're not doing anything wrong. This is after-school restraint collapse, and it's a nervous system response.
This free, printable checklist walks you through four key moments in your afternoon and evening: the second they walk in the door, transitions to after-school activities, weeknight mealtimes, and bedtime, with simple, practical strategies for each one, grounded in behavior science and nervous system regulation.
Print it, stick it on the fridge, and use it as a quick reference on the hard days. This is the same framework I use as a starting point for the families I coach and we elaborate and individualize based on each child’s unique regulation needs.
