The practices

What you build on the ordinary days.

The toolkit is for the hard moments. This is for the calm ones. Three minutes a night, to grow the thing underneath everything else: the connection.

Name the feeling

Help them connect words to what's happening inside. A feeling named is a feeling they can hold.

Build the calm-down kit

Stock the shelves before the storm. A box of things that help them come back.

Transitions hurt

"Time to go" can feel like someone demolished a world they were still inside.

Why it's free and private: these run on your phone, save nothing to a server, and ask for no account. The practices are the same whether you do one or all six. There's nothing to buy, and nothing to finish. Come back when it's a calm night.
