Easy, quick go to kid breakfasts -
Smart watch- non apple watchLooking for a good, affordable option for a smart watch to help me keep tabs on where my kids are. I have heard good things about the gizmo. Any suggestions welcomed!

Best go-to easy dinnerWe love the breakfast for dinner! I usually make a batch of shredded chicken in the instant pot and use that for quick quesadillas, tacos, fajita bowls, and enchiladas. Super quick and easy.
My kids also love ‘sparkle chicken’- I get plain chicken tenders, place them in Pyrex and add olive oil and just lightly sprinkle Italian bread crumbs and bake for 20-30 min. Add a side of veggies and some noodles and done! -
Kindergarten Help!Agree with all of these comments. There’s a real phenomenon called restraint collapse and it’s basically that they have had to hold together at school all day and when they finally get home to their ‘safe place’ they can finally let it all out. Always have to tell myself to just ride it out
Another helpful thing I have found is trying to give them back some sense of control. They are told all day to follow directions so letting them have reasonable choices can help- ‘do you want the pink or blue cup’ ‘do you want to read this book or that one’, etc can help fill up their cup.
I also think an easy way to get them to share about their day is to do a rose/thorn or strawberry/lemon for the day. I always make sure to do mine too. Can open the door for good little convos about what made them happy and what was hard.
