Let’s set the scene: You’re pulling out the school pick-up line<\/a> and heading home. You’re curious about what happened when your kid wasn’t with you and ask them questions like, “How was your day? How did the test go? Did you learn anything interesting today?” And all you’re getting in return are one-word answers (if you’re lucky). What’s a parent to do? According to parenting coach Chelsey Hauge-Zavaleta, it’s totally normal for your kid to shut down at the end of the school day\u2014and peppering them with questions the minute they enter your car can seem a bit like an interrogation.<\/p>\n

This time of day is a transition between school and after-school hours, and kids need to ease into it, explained Dr. Hauge-Zavaleta in a recent TikTok<\/a>. She also offers alternatives to the “How was your day?” questions<\/a> that might have better success after you’re done with school pickup.<\/p>\n
