What's inside

Eight moves, from before you go in to after the peak.

Short enough to read in the car before you go in. A few from the sheet:

  • When it hitsTake a pause first: three slow breaths. Let the onlookers go. You're not managing them.
  • Then moveGet them somewhere quieter: the end of the aisle, outside, the car.
  • Then say very littleDon't try to reason mid-storm. Wait out the wave.
  • If you already said noHold it. You can be completely warm about it and still not move.

Made by two parents. Every line on the sheet comes from the Joura app, which is built on published guidance for parents of young kids.
