Your state sets the ceiling of the room. Reset yours in sixty seconds — guided, right here.
Sixty seconds, four breaths. Use it before you respond — in the hallway, outside the bedroom door, in the supermarket aisle.

Boundary Script
Validate the feeling, state the boundary once, hold it calmly. Pick the moment — the words are ready.
1 · Validate the feeling
“I hear you. I know you want one more story.”
Connection first — it doesn't mean giving in.
2 · State the boundary, once
“It's bedtime now. Your body needs sleep.”
A complete sentence. Nothing left to solve inside it.
3 · Hold it, calmly
“It's still bedtime.” — same words, same tone, every time.
Consistency lowers testing. Intensity doesn't.
Choose 1–2 sentences and repeat them exactly — improvising re-opens the loop.
