20 short challenges that are a little frustrating on purpose, each paired with one coping move kids practice while the feeling is actually happening. Stack stones that keep falling. Untangle a string without yanking. Lose a rigged race with a script ready. Small safe doses, repeated often, done together: a gym for staying calm.
