The 60-Second Parent Reset

For you, not the child. Do it in the hallway.

The 60-Second Parent Reset

  1. 0:00 — Walk out of the room if everyone is safe. Say: "I'm coming right back."
  2. 0:10 — Cold water on your wrists or your face.
  3. 0:20 — Breathe out longer than you breathe in. In 4, out 8. Three times.
  4. 0:40 — Say the one true sentence: "This is hard. I am not failing."
  5. 0:55 — Pick ONE thing to do when you walk back in. Just one.

A calm adult is the intervention. Everything else is second.
