When something starts to kick off I just say 'magic brake' - and it worked.
For two days my son has listened - especially the Dragon and his anger. You can see he's starting to understand the pause.
After a few sessions I could lengthen the gap between a stressor and my reaction - I feel much more confident as a parent.
Thanks to the recordings I feel calmer and more patient. A moment of respite, a moment for me.
