You know, we need to get this math homework done.

And instead, you've just kind of gone like limp spaghetti and you're now sliding down your chair onto the floor.

So high intensity and low intensity can be really tough for parents.

My knee jerk, anyway, or a lot of our knee jerk is to just say, stop doing that, or don't, or no, like we want to put a

really hard and fast stuff on it.

When in actual fact our kids do better with gradual adjustment and also making them aware of what they're experiencing in the moment to whatever degree they can tolerate that.

So dialing intensity is something we can practice when we're just playing with our kids, when it feels safer to practice.

We're not under the stress of the main event where they've gotta be sitting straight in church or they're at grandparents' house and the holidays.

are coming up and they've got to look like they're happy to be there, those sorts of things.

But we're just playing.

So you're just

Taking out whatever they like to do and maybe playing a board game together, or you're making some art or whatever it is that that drives their interest.

And you're just looking for opportunities and imagining like a dial on that, that thermostat on the wall, like an old-fashioned dial where you can decide to take them up a few notches or take them down a few notches, instead of just putting a hard stop on.

something that they're doing.

So I'll give you an example.

My kid likes to, when he gets really into something, he likes to just like bang on a table, like with his hands.

It'll start out as drumming and then it'll become like a lot harder and faster and stuff.

And if anybody comes near him,

At that moment, I don't know how they're going to get drawn into that play, but sometimes the intensity can look like a little bit too much.

So the idea would just be to help dial that down a little bit, if that's what seems to be what's called for in that situation.
