[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]armchair psychologist* here: This is your child crying out for some level of control. He is tired. He feels out of control and wants to go home and relax/have mastery of his environment. Some is probably developmental and some is situational. Try to take him home and let him have mastery over whatever he can have, at least for a time. Or be clear that: on mondays we go to the grocery store, but we will do this plan on Tuesday (or whatever) * I'm not a psychologist but play one on tv ;-)[/quote] I agree. I always let my kids control the music on the way to/from school. See if having a little more structure after school - and telegraphing in advance + little opportunities for control (you can listen to any bluey or disney song you want) helps. I let my three kids (btw 3-5) watch 30 minutes of tv a night (after dinner - while I clean up). This does not sound like a tv problem to me fwiw. [/quote]
