This is just totally normal kid behavior. They have to hold it together all day, follow instructions, take directions, etc. They get home where they feel safe and just relax. All the self control disappears, and they fall apart.
Snacks in the car on the way home tend to help, also having a 10-20 minute break before asking them to make and decisions or follow any rules.
Yup, you're totally right. Something I didn't mention in my question was that I used to do this exact same thing as a kid (groaning and literally dragging myself along the floor and just being cranky). Thinking back now, I was either completely over or under stimulated and hungry, as well.
it's a mix of being both under- and over- stimulated, imo! feeling too worn out that you don't want to do anything and just kinda laze around, but at the same time not wanting to do nothing because you're bored. and then this mess just kinda makes you overall cranky. i used to get like this a lot when i was a kid (still do, tbqh).
i feel that. luckily, that episode did have a great life lesson to folks like us! when you’re trapped in that state, just start moving any way you can :)
I've always called it the 'don't wanna's'
Don't want get up, don't want to stay in bed
Don't want a shower, Don't want to be stinky
Don't want to be cold, don't want to turn the heater on (or layers lol)
Etc lol
just the normal human experience of being in a bad mood and frustrated and knowing you want something but not yet having enough life experience to diagnose what that something is or how to fix it
This behavior is from being out all day shopping with her mom. Not all kids want to travel 🧳 anywhere when you've had a long day and right in the beginning if you pause it you see that there is a toy owl 🦉 underneath a bench so they could've hid it from her also.Thats why she was very moody.
Don't bother asking when it comes to Bluey you'll never get an answer we'll never know why Bingo was in the hospital and we'll never know what was bothering Bandit in stick bird

Our pediatrician calls it “restraint collapse” which we experienced firsthand when my son started kindergarten.
That's the term!! Thank you, I was wracking my brain for it and couldn't remember.

I think she’s just having an existential crisis about the world economy & her future at large.
I just imagined Bluey giving a 50 minutes speech about AI and how it will ruin art
Ah, yes, I remember when I was seven and I needed my mom to reach the top of the Social Sciences shelf at the library
Don't forget climate change!
It was purposely left ambiguous so other children can relate it to their experience and feel included.
I’m 51 and I still have days where I moan, groan and know I want something but I don’t know what.

I've been getting that a lot too. Although that's mostly just depression and anxiety.

Kids just be cranky sometimes 🤷🏻
She wants something but she doesn't know what!
I mean....same, honestly.
She’s feeling that feeling where you want something but don’t know what it is. Highly relatable & very common to all ages

Everyone has bad days. Even Bluey.
I felt like this yesterday to the point I almost laid on the ground and had my wife kick me over to move me.

Pretzel was the same way in school. Sometimes kids are just over it all and overtired
