Here is a good idea when you're headed to the car rider line at school. Have a snacky snacky and something to drink waiting on them when they get in.
Alot of kids have eaten really early and the little snack they are givem has already wore off before school is out. Since kids burn calories quicker than we do, they need to replenish those. If not, they can get CRANKY. They can eat a snack before you get home and be more calm 😌 and ready to tackle what comes next.
They might even be more focused and be able to get their home work done or chores because they are not hungry.
This also helps if it is going to be a while before you get to eat supper. 😋
If you forget to have something ready for them when you pick them up and get home, you can always let them sit down and unwind for a few minutes and have a snack. This is what ours looks like sometimes. We can relax, calm down and just talk while enjoying a tea party and cake. Fruit is a good option too.
