Riddhi Deorah explains why the first 10 minutes after you walk in the door matter most for working moms. Your child picks up on your energy more than your words, so arriving calm and present, with a smile and a hug, helps them feel safe. Criticism in those minutes triggers defensiveness, but warmth builds connection.

The 10 minutes after you reach home matters the most for your child. Why? Because your child's brain is scanning your energy and not your words. If you walk in and you immediately say, did you finish your homework? Why is the room so messy? Their brain switches to defense mode. They feel judged and they do not feel loved. But if you walk in with a sweet ple pleasant smile, hug your child and just be with your child, sit beside them. Their brain says, wow, my mom is back. I'm feeling safe. I'm feeling seen. These 10 minutes are very important to connect with your child, so make sure you carry the right energy back home.
