I'm so glad to hear that someone else finds value in this strategy too! It really can make all the difference when dealing with challenging behaviours, creating a kind of emotional buffer zone. It's an ongoing practice and certainly not always easy to implement, especially when sleep-deprived or otherwise frazzled, but it helps me remember that these are moments I'll likely look back on fondly despite the difficulties. It can be so fascinating observing their little personalities developing and knowing that they're learning and figuring things out in their own way even when it's testing our patience!
