Helping kids slow down after a full day

After school, many kids are still running on the energy of the day. A short transition ritual can help them shift gears.

Try dimming the lights, playing one calm song, or inviting them to 'shake out' the day with gentle movement before sitting down together.

The goal isn't perfect stillness, it's giving them a reliable moment to land, and a tool they can begin to reach for on their own.
