In this episode of Small Town Social Workers, we explore after-school restraint collapse. The emotional unraveling kids often experience after holding it together all day. We discuss why it happens, what it reveals about emotional regulation, and practical ways caregivers and parents can create calmer, more supportive after-school transitions.
