I need to calm down first
A few short tools for the moments when you need to come back to yourself before you can be there for them.
The 60-second reset
When you have one minute and need to find some ground.
When your baby won't stop crying
When their distress lands straight in your nervous system.
When feeding feels stressful
When the table feels heavier than the meal.
When nursery drop-off is breaking your heart
When you cry the whole way back to the car.
When bedtime has become a battle
When you can feel the dread before you even start.
When you feel like you're failing
When the day got the better of you.
