Raising Scholars Season 2, Sunday Reset Episode 2: Why Your Child Shuts Down After School And What to Do First

Aired on Jun 21, 2026

Homework resistance isn't always about homework.

After a full day of school, many children are running on empty. What looks like defiance, procrastination, or attitude may actually be emotional depletion.

In this week's Sunday Reset, Jacquie Langworthy explores why children need regulation before rigor and shares a simple shift that can make homework time feel less like a battle.

This week's challenge is to create a 10-minute decompression window before homework begins. No screens, no tasks, and no questions. Just a chance for your child to land.

As Jacquie reminds us, "Connection before correction."
