Louder mornings aren’t a sign you’re doing it wrong. They’re a sign of alarm - and alarm settles best beside a steady adult. If breathing got an eye‑roll, it wasn’t wrong, it was too much, too soon. Sitting close and saying nothing still counts. Presence is regulation. This won’t ‘fix’ a full freeze. It lowers the alarm enough to try the next right thing later. How’s tomorrow morning looking?
