[quote=Anonymous]Definitely food, but also don't hover and interrogate. I learned very quickly to treat my elementary kid like a wild animal after school: slide the food in quickly, back away cautiously so you don't get mauled, and give them space. Mine needed time to decompress and refuel/rehydrate before she was functional again. If I tried to ask her about her day, she'd either shut down or completely lose her s**t she'd been holding together with such effort all day. Adults often forget how exhausting it is to be on your best behavior all day at that age. [/quote]
