Your lunch transition is costing you more than you think
Sep 30, 2025 8:18 pm
Hey ,
Let me paint a picture you know too well:
It's 12:45 PM. Lunch is "done" but half the kids are still eating, three are bouncing off the walls, two are melting down, and your lead teacher looks like she's about to cry.
She's redirecting. Shushing. Negotiating. Begging them to use inside voices.
By 1:15, she's exhausted. The kids are wound up. And naptime? Forget it...now that's going to be a battle too.
Here's what that 30 minutes of chaos actually costs you:
- Teacher burnout: That moment of feeling unsuccessful? It compounds. Day after day, until she starts looking at job postings.
- Incident reports: Dysregulated kids = more conflicts, more injuries, more parent conversations, more documentation.
- Lost learning time: You're spending 30-75 minutes per day just trying to get control back. That's 4+ hours per week of pure survival mode.
What if that transition was your calmest moment instead?
That's what Fruit Snack Streams does. One 5-8 minute video post-lunch, and your teachers get:
- A room that settles itself while they clean up or prep
- Kids whose nervous systems actually reset instead of spiral
- A moment where they feel successful instead of defeated
No prep. No training. Just press play.
Directors using FSS report:
✅ Fewer challenging behaviors during transitions
✅ Teachers who feel competent and supported
✅ Calmer morning AND afternoon routines (because kids aren't starting from chaos)
Want to see it work in your center?
— no credit card, no strings. Just calmer classrooms.
