Watch first
What this is
You're triggered — a tantrum, defiance, whining, the fifth "no" in a row — and you're about to snap. This tool gives you 60 seconds to regulate YOURSELF first, because you can't pour calm into your child from an empty cup. Breathe first, respond second. That's the whole skill.
Benefits
Fill Your Cup First
You can't pour calm from empty
60-Second Pause
Breathe before you respond
Respond, Not React
Calm comes first, then action
Repair Is Strength
Even if you slip, repair is always possible
⚠ Precautions
- A self-help parenting regulation exercise, not therapy.
- If you ever feel you might harm your child, please immediately call a helpline.
- One pause doesn't fix everything — be kind to yourself.
- If you ever feel unsafe, pause and reach a helpline.
