THE WEEKLY DRILL

1. Identify the bait — What are they using to lure your attention or your kids? (Treats? Guilt? Noise?)

2. Neutralize with value — Be the source of a better vibe. Kids are young; they follow the leader who is moving forward with joy, not the one looking back in anger.

3. Document & detach — Keep the log of interference for the record, then clear it from your mind. Don't let their 10 minutes of overstepping ruin your 48 hours of peace.
