The first two days of school brought total chaos—and I knew exactly why. Because I skipped a few key parts of the system I teach every day.
This episode is your behind-the-scenes look at what didn’t work in my own home this week—and the 7 simple tools I’m returning to that prevent the overwhelm, the stress, and the after-school meltdowns.
You’ll learn how to: – Set your afternoons up for peace, not panic – Support your kids’ emotional regulation after a long school day – Stay present even when your workday’s not over – Avoid dinner-time scramble and bedtime battles
Whether you’re in the thick of school pickup or just trying to survive from 3 to 6 PM, these tips will help you bring calm back to your afternoons—without needing a total overhaul.
You’ve got this!
xoxo, Chelsi Jo
