About this listen

 This episode is for parents bracing for the next predictable storm — mornings that blow up when you’re late, bedtime that turns into a battle, or the meltdown that follows a tricky transition. I normalise the fatigue and the guilt, then offer one core idea: a tiny pre‑flight ritual performed before a known trigger reduces friction and preserves safety and relationship. You’ll learn three simple lines (short, age-adaptable phrases), how to set the timing and tone so they land, and two environmental nudges that make the words work without extra willpower. I walk through quick scripts for toddlers, school‑agers and teens, plus troubleshooting when a line feels hollow (sensory issues, testing, or extreme dysregulation). Finish with two experiments to try tomorrow, clear signs to pause, and a grounding close so you can practise without pressure.
