Try tonight: name the dragon

When anger shows up tonight, even over a small thing, put a hand on your chest: "My dragon is waking up. I'll take three slow breaths before I do anything." Then ask your child to try. In our program, this is the lesson "The Dragon Inside": noticing anger before it takes over.
