We don't have a problem with reunions it is once they come home and it all breaks loose.

Tiredness and lack of focus really assists in meltdowns. I agree, living in the moment when we focus at the task at hand, works miracles in every situation. I've had a few meltdowns myself most often when we were both tired and shes had a long day. I try to pick her up earlier before the class is out to decrease the distractions and I often try focusing on asking my daughter in a calm voice how her day was and try to grasp her attention in conversation while I get her bags and we walk to the gate. It really helps. Thanks Lisa. I love this article. Tiredness and lack of focus really assists in meltdowns.
