Several mothers in an online community shared their insights on keeping calm in tricky situations for better parenting, which included deep breathing and creating distance from stressful situations, with the goal of modelling calm behaviour for their children. They also emphasized the importance of self-care rituals and toolkit that help them stay centred and grounded especially during hectic moments, including sensory experiences like soothing smells such as perfume or essential oils, soft or furry objects, and tasty cinnamon sticks to evoke comforting feelings and memories. The discussion thread highlighted how these sensory hacks can significantly impact shifting mindsets and bringing moments of clarity in otherwise chaotic parenting days. These practices help mothers stay centred and focused on the present moment and are reminded that they are not alone in facing challenging situations.
