How reset after a rough drop off

Dec 02, 2024

Have you ever had one of those really tricky mornings with your kiddos? A morning where drop off is pretty much a complete disaster?

You know, you’ve got the angry mama tone and vibe locked in, you’re pressured and tense, maybe raising your voice, nagging your kiddo to get going, resulting to bribing or coercion just to get your kid into the dang car already, needing to physically buckle in a flailing and protesting kiddo, lots of tears or angry words coming at you, and the WORST- having to say goodbye at daycare or school drop off with the incident unresolved for the time being.

Mamas you know what I’m talking about:
