What do your kids do when they get home from school?

[Opal90]

Just out of curiosity? Mine always need a snack/snacks and the TV on!

Eat snacks, watch TV, play switch, refuse dinner, have cereal at bedtime 🙃

Theyre utterly thriving at school and are completely delightful so I don’t see it as a problem tbh. I watched telly the minute I came home from school too.

DS has just started year 7 and absolutely loving it and rinsing his homework (does before bed a week before it’s due) so all good so far!

Telly, snacks, play in their room, tea. I like them to stare at the telly for a bit just to wind down. They're 3 close in age and otherwise they just get fractious and wind each other up.
They wake up a bit after tea so they might play outside for a bit while I tidy up, make up dances, plan outfits, crafting. Bath, reading and bed.

They have an activity most days except one when friends come over. After the activity it’s tv, food and homework usually.

half hour of tv with snacks. and then actual playing or productive activity. because their behaviour goes to shit and they will get myopia if they watch more than that. plus spanish lesson, swim squad, ceramics class.

Mine have after school clubs so we get home about 5. Usually quick snack and screens, dinner, play outside (though with the dark nights this will now likely be run around/fight indoors). Dad gets home about 7 so they get wound up and play with him then younger two go to bed 7:30ish and the oldest watches some more tv then bed at 8:30/9ish for him. It’s usually quite chaotic!

Mine is 8, year 3. We get home from school about 4:30, she has about an hours homework (sometimes it takes much much longer!) dinner then tv or play and try to get her upstairs for 8 but she’s usually not asleep till 9! One night a week she has brownies so it’s a rush getting dinner and h/w done before that so sometimes it’s more h/w after brownies

We talk about her day, start getting dinner ready, a snack, reading/homework, then playtime before dinner.
No TV on school days.

Mine were young in the 80s - a long time ago now!

They had a long day and travelled by Tube to school and back, so they had a snack, played, watched TV/videos, then dinner bath and bed, unless it was a Scouts/Beavers/Tae Kwondo night

Rarely tv after school

he goes to park next to school if decent weather (with snacks) and then home to play with toys then dinner bath and stories and bed,
or to gymnastics
of out for food with his dad then home.
or to grandparents for playtime and tv and then back to me.

he’s nearly 4.

Clubs, some food, play, music practise. We’ve switched no tv after school except Friday.
