Big Feelings Helper (Quick Script) 💛

Try this 60-second reset between transitions:


Name it: “I’m feeling ___.” (tired / overwhelmed / stressed / distracted)


Breathe: In for 4… hold 2… out for 6. (Do 3 rounds.)


Pick one tiny next step: “My next step is ___.” (refill cups / greet parents / set out centers)


Tiny boundary script (when you’re stretched thin):

“I want to give this my full attention. Can I follow up with you after nap / at pickup?”


You’ve got this. And we’ve got you. 💛
