We allow ourselves all the time to be surprised by the completely predictable.
And when you're really surprised as a parent,
That's one of those moments when our feelings do take us over.
Humans don't like to be surprised.
They really don't.
And so we can't control everything.
But step one, I think, is actually just thinking, okay, let me look at my day.
Are there hot spots?
Can I start to connect the dots?
For a lot of families, leaving the house is a hot spot.
For a lot of families, the transition to dinner is a hot spot.
For a lot of families, the transition to bed is a hot spot, and just the going to bed is a hot spot.
It's a hot spot.
Transitions are really hard.
They're really hard for kids because they're always engrossed in something where things feel familiar and comfortable.
And we're being they're being asked to kind of leave that situation to go to something a little less known or a little more uncomfortable, which by the way, we have to ask our kids to do those things.
But when you think about it that way, yeah, that's hard, you know, especially as a kid.
And we tend, me too, I'm not above this.
to be in efficiency mode during those moments.
And one of the things I keep thinking a lot about is just the difference between being efficiency mode and connection mode.
