More strops at school age??

Following as my almost five year old is just the same. She’s had a few meltdowns before over the years but since starting reception it’s next level….

Yes. I’m sure it’s due to the tiredness as she’s exhausted at the end of the day. We don’t get half as much on a weekend. I’ve found myself picking battles very carefully. We’ve been letting her eat her tea watching the telly because at least i know she’ll eat. Trying to keep her entertained after school too till dad gets home and I can do tea has helped so things like going to the library, half hour at the park etc

Pretty normal I think. My daughter has just started also. We have had melt downs after school. But it has been better last couple of weeks. Keeping it super chill at home. Let her have a snack, change watch tv, when she gets back. I get tea ready. But she's definitely tired it's a big change, plus I read they are going through a big development change just before 5.
