Asking specific and less general questions after school has really worked for us! I like the tip for playing board games too!

And it's fun coming up with specific questions too--I try to change it up as much as I can. Hope you'll report back on the board game approach if you give it a try!

T went back last week and this transition to P2 was way worse than last year. More tears in the evening than we’ve had over the whole summer. Not sure what’s going on, class sizes went from 20 to 30, it’s a new group dynamic etc, but it’s really weird... just trying to underreact to the drama.

I’m trying to figure out a bit more of a weekly flow especially as I transition to a new job/less travel, etc.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear T is having a rough go of it. It's such a tricky transition and I'm sure it's troubling you quite a bit amidst your own professional shift (congrats!). I hope the transition smooths out into a predictable, tear-free routine ASAP!
