Unlocking the After-School Shut Down: Communication Tips for Parents

This workshop offers parents practical strategies for navigating the common “after-school shut down,” when kids come home tired, overwhelmed, or unwilling to talk. Through discussion, role-play, and hands-on tools, parents will learn how to foster connection without pressure, support emotional regulation, and create a safe space for kids to open up at their own pace. The workshop emphasizes understanding child development, managing expectations, and building communication habits that strengthen parent-child relationships.
