Have you ever wondered why your child seems to hold it together all day but falls apart the moment they get home? Today, we explore the concept of system restraint collapse and how understanding this phenomenon can help us better support our children.

Plus, I’ll offer some practical ways to help minimize system restraint collapse with your own children, ensuring you support them in the healthiest way possible.
