Magic Moment

At our latest visit, an 8 year old proudly handed me this paper announcing, "this is what I've been working on!" Her parents said that she has been handling her "anger" emotion much better using these techniques...WIN!!!!

Understanding that there is a MAGIC MOMENT between an emotion arising and a behavior occurring is the first step. The second step is using techniques to PAUSE during that MAGIC MOMENT. When we PAUSE long enough during that moment, the behavior is no longer driven by that initial emotion. Trying to put this concept into terms that children can use has been a challenge... and completely worth it!

Thank you for the feedback!!!
