Annie and Candis examine the topic of after-school restraint collapse. They wonder out loud together why we are normalizing this restraint as an essential component of back-to-school season and beyond. Do schools ask too much of young people? Are kids required to hold themselves together in inappropriate ways? What we are asking and expecting of young children is wildly out of line with all the science of human development and neuroscience. How can we all be better advocates for our kids in our homes and classrooms?

Thanks for listening!
