Instant Evolution Out of An Upset

About This Episode



In this podcast, there is a recap the connection-creating, stress-reducing Kid Code strategy called Blessing Mistakes with more ideas for Post It Notes around the house to reduce stress when a mistake happens.

There are so many good reasons to intervene with a peace-keeping strategy any time a stressful or negative state appears: one study shows that if kids had a wish, they’d wish their parents were less tired and stressed. Another shows that 1.6 million kids have behavioral problems. If there is a way of out stress the moment it appears, why wouldn’t we take it? If we stay stressed out, we’re no good to ourselves or our kids. It fractures relationships.

Everyone knows about the breath as a strategy to bring about calmness, but did you know that many Yogi’s say if you slow down and deepen your breath, you live longer? And when you get curious about what’s going on inside of you in an upset and ignore the outer world for a minute, and then add gratitude for the breath (we’re alive!), problems disappear, and solutions appear.
