One of the things that I find we can get into the healthy habit life is to say to kids, look, in our family, when we're all riled up, when something's going on, we take a minute. That's the way in our family, when we're riled up, we just give a little bit of space, and that's what we do. And right now it's hard for you and you're upset. So we're going to give it a minute. We are. And the child might say, I don't want a minute. Like, why do you always say it's like. Because just. That's what we do, right? It's just what we do. And if we can. Because often in the moment, like, it's like, oh, okay, what do I do with that? And if the only thing I've got to remember as a dad or a mom or a guardian is to say, in our family, we take a minute, if that's all I've got to remember, then we can regulate our own hearts, we can regulate our own breathing. A lot can happen in a minute or two.
