Summary

Many of us imagine late afternoons or evenings with our children as the perfect time to wind down and connect after a busy day. Unfortunately, this is often precisely when our children need to unload the day’s stresses. Which means that instead of enjoying restorative quality time together, we're faced with challenging behavior, high emotions, and discontent. Janet unpacks some of the reasons why evenings can be so difficult for kids and what we can do to help them (and ourselves!).

0:38.6	I'm going to offer some guidelines and then examples from parents who've written to me
0:43.8	and I'm really hoping this will be helpful.
0:46.6	But first a quick message about self-care sponsored by BetterHelp.
0:51.8	Being kids work and all the other responsibilities in our lives, taking care of ourselves, it's
0:57.4	often the last thing we think about.
1:00.0	But ignoring our feelings, just trying to power through or to quietly deal with a personal
1:05.6	issue, it doesn't really solve anything.
1:07.9	In fact, it can make things worse.
1:10.4	An experienced empathetic therapist can make all the difference.
1:15.8	BetterHelp offers professional, private, 100% online therapy that's convenient, accessible
1:23.0	and absolutely affordable.
1:25.3	As I've said before, I use an online therapist from time to time just to help me sort through
1:29.8	some personal issues and my husband does too.
