✅ Hook: “Your teen is pushing every limit—how do you stay calm instead of snapping?”
✅ Big Idea: Your nervous system mirrors theirs. When you stay calm, they regulate too.
✅ Why This Matters:

• If you react with stress, they escalate.

• You are their emotional ‘thermostat.’
  ✅ Coaching Approach:

• Pause before reacting: Breathe & count to three.

• Reframe the moment: “They’re not trying to be difficult; they’re having difficulty.”

• Use a low, slow voice to signal calm.
  ✅ Takeaway Mantra: “I am the thermostat, not the thermometer.”
